Who Uses A Tipton Gun Cleaning Vise?

[Abraham]

I've found one for $49.00 and free freight, plus Texas tax.

Anyway, do you use one or would you recommend a different one?

I'll be using it to clean my beautiful new AR.

Thanks!

I've used a Decker vise for years, but I don't know if you can get them anymore.
I'd use the Tipton vise if I couldn't get a Decker.

I have one. The Best Gun Vise, I think. It was a gift and I haven't gotten comfortable with it very much yet. It works okay, but sometimes I just like to take the gun apart and lay it on a mat. Also, I don't use cleaning rods for the barrels. I have snakes.

The Tipton Best Gun Vise is very versatile, although it would be more honest to call it a Tipton Best Gun Holder. At $49, that's a good price. Most of the time, mine is employed to cradle my Savage 300WM (when it's not at the range).

I use the Tipton vise. I like it for scope mounting and other minor work.

It is not designed to be a platform for times when serious torque is needed. I have a real vise for that.

I use mine for cleaning, mounting scopes etc. $49 w/free shipping is a good price. For any serious work I use a bench vise with heavy leather pads. I just took the barrel off a Marlin .22 to replace the cartridge guide and the Tipton would not be suitable.

Thanks everyone - input very much appreciated.

I'm gonna buy it!

I've been looking at this one.

It has a post that fits in the mag well of the AR.

More portable for taking to the range.
