Rifle Bench Rest Assembly

If you're into target shooting, this is the print for you. This is an adjustable height bench rest for rifle shooting with interchangeable yokes to fit the stock width of your rifle. The height adjustment is done easily by turning the screw and re-tightening the jam-nut. This thing is rock solid once assembled!

There are 3 feet on the bottom to give maximum stability when placed on uneven surfaces. The rifle yoke is positioned appropriately within the tripod for hands-free stability.

All parts of this are 3D printed, even the ½-13 socket heads!

This bench rest is also suitable for holding the rifle secure during maintenance, such as scope mounting, as shown in the video.

If you are looking to improve your shooting accuracy this is the rifle rest you need. Once everyone see's your custom 3D printed bench rest at the range you'll have lots of questions to answer, such as ‘How do I get one of those?’ and ‘Can you make one for me?’

The largest part in this assembly (tripod base) was designed to use the entire print bed of my Ender 3. The bed of your printer must be able to handle a print measuring 8.25" x 8.25" [210mm x 210mm] in order to print it (just so you know).

For some printing information, orientation, and other general background information, I recommend watching the video below:

Wrap-up:

The model I printed was done from all PLA materials, including the screws. I don't plan on leaving this bench rest in a hot vehicle, but I know it could happen. In the future I plan on printing another one from PETg for longevity.

Using this bench rest definitely improved the accuracy of target shooting my Ruger 10-22. I am interested in hearing what rifles you're using (or intend to use) with it.

I hope you enjoy! Thanks for checking it out! If you like things like this be sure to check out the many other models I have here.
