Could someone recommend a gun vise that I could use for maintenance of long guns? I am hoping for something wood or metal, not plastic, that will last forever. I also don't want to make it myself.

 

Thanks

Can't you just buy a regular shop or mechanic's vise, and use soft inserts for when clamping on something you don't want to mar the surface/finish of?

Are you looking for something specifically for rifles? Most if not all of them are plastic(polymer). They make a few metal ones. However, what is the purpose of it?

Shop around for whatever you exactly need. I have found too many times that it costs much more to make something than to buy. Yes, I am the proud owner of a $250 homemade air compressor that I could have bought for 1/2 of that.

There was this awesome vise that Tony, Bryan and a few others bought at Shot Show, it is distributed by Berry's. (the bullet people)

I was just going to say that Maks. It's by Berry's and you can move it so many ways. I am sure there is a video of it on Berry's website.

This?

That one looks nice. I also was checking out this one: http://www.ctkprecision.com/gunvise.aspx

 

It seems like the most popular ones are made of plastic, which doesn't seem right for a gun vise.

 

I'm going to use the vise for rifle sighting, maintenance and cleaning.
