Rifle Shooting Stand / Rest DIY Homemade $5

[@JMS_Outdoors]

Made one of these last night. Had most of the parts in hand already. Thanks for the idea. It took me 25 minutes to put together.

[@t.d9253]

That was genius, Lloyd, sheer genius!! Thanks for the video.

[@tomredmond]

I like this!!!!!! Got a Crosman 760 that I've been trying to get sighted in, and been thinking of a rest to insure repeated gun placement. This is the ticket.... Cheap and simple.

[@douglasmetcalfe3007]

Making one right now 9yrs later 👍cheers great idea

[@OldManLokin]

Built this almost exactly. Works great, but just a word of warning, if you have a larger rifle, those hooks will still scratch. This is due to the hooks having a narrower spacing at the top. If you just take off the top of the hooks, it works perfectly. (Yugo Mauser and Marlin 336. It worked perfectly for my 10/22 without alteration.)

[@lostaboutnow]

Thank you! I put this together in no time flat. Works GREAT! Tested it out with several rifles and just loved it. Saved me lots of time and money! Thanks again....May our Lord bless you!

[@davidbravo1802]

Amen.

[@rickangel8960]

I made one with one improvement and it worked great.I used a 2x2x4" small wooden block for the rear gun support to give it more height. Thanks for the idea.

[@jimwalt]

I'm making this soon. Thanks for posting the parts list too! Headed off to Menards this weekend for the hardware!

[@briabla8171]

Good luck on your build!

[@joshuacrites4821]

Who else is watching this in 2021 and amazed at the $60 of lumber he is showing off?

[@OneWildTurkey]

2024 and the lumber went slightly down in price.

[@banevuk58]

Excellent idea. Made one similar Had sam garden tool holder available in the shed. Aligned my scope for a air gun witch was way off. Cheers

[@tashacorden9070]

Been looking for a video like this for ages buzzing

[@monarkpro17]

Thanks Gravydog1. I'm sure a lot of people have probably improved and refined the design since the original post. I encourage anyone to post their improvements and show us what you have done.

[@ama409573]

Just what I was looking for! Thanks for the ideas!

[@mynextketchfrontier6351]

Dude this idea has been in my head for a while..nd I finally search it on u tube..lol urs has inspired me..thnx

[@wrightconnection]

Awesome idea, thanks for posting and sharing your idea. Simple, cheap, looks like it works great. I'm going to use your idea to make one to fit my AR. Thanks.

[@rbcountryknights]

Seen a few designs for DIY rests/vices, this looks like a great design, simple and sturdy. I will try to wrangle something different than the dollar store hangers to hold the gun in place. Maybe I can just give them a squeeze with some grips.

[@stevejr5544]

This just helped me design one for my 8 year old son. Thank you.

[@perf52]

Very nice simple design at low cost! I like it. Builders' note: When drilling the holes for the thread inserts drill the shallow outer diameter first with a butterfly (spade) bit. Better resistance for the short depth and the point will leave a centering/ starting hole for the through bore! Instead of epoxy you can use two short round head wood screws to retain the insert. No muss, no fuss, no dry time!

[@elemcons]

Very wise idea. I made one adding some new features over the initial idea. It became very practical end useful. Conratulations!

[@monarkpro17]

Great ideas, thanks for passing them on to the community!

[@mrwolfhound]

Excellent idea! I was going to make my own too. Yours is a simpler design. I like it better. Will give it a try. Thanks for posting!

[@dictumfactum9468]

just what I was looking for. Good job

[@whilburn2]

After 11 years…. All hardware minus wood was 16$ after tax

[@monarkpro17]

Great idea! Thanks. I have also added a nut between the wing nut and threaded insert to act as a jamb nut. It makes adjusting much faster then spinning the carriage bolt by hand.

[@CoyoteLight]

Great Idea- Going to see if I can find the gun rest hooks and make one. Not sure what a T nut is, but will check that out also. Thanks for sharing this.

[@colbywaters6995]

Thanks for the video. I'm in the process of making my own. This was very helpful!

[@Katamaricolby]

Colby Waters How is the rifle stand going? Built good?

[@rickbeckman2306]

Very Cool.....Just bought a scope for my 22 and will built this to sight it in...thanks

[@Broncotwee]

Nice Job !!! Greetings from Holland EU.

[@nolimitracing9752]

Excellent video and the parts list was very handy

[@manyfeather2knives423]

Thanks for posting. Helped a lot.

[@garyritter1380]

thanks for the great info. With price of ammo up I don't give warning shots anymore. This save ammo sighting in time. thanks

[@towerhillbilly]

Great idea and build...My kind of project.. I think you will find in practice that you will need a vertical adjustment on just about every shot and your bolts are not quite handy enough for that...I'd do away with the front fork and replace it with a sand bag which can be "scrunched" each shot for that perfect elevation.adjustment

[@tasmedic]

clever work! I like! Minimum time, maximum functionality

[@reezoshideout]

Thank you very much, I'll try and start with a 3" total anyway, since I see your guns rest fairly parallel to the 19" plank. You are right that..once the gun is leveled, it is leveled anyway regardless of the stand..but I'll still get a 3" upper pedestal, like yours, to get a good start ;)

[@shoptime69]

Thanks monarkpro I am going to build one of these this week.

[@brettsherwood]

I totally copied this pattern. only thing I added was I chained the 3/8 adjustment wrench to the rest thanks for putting this up

[@monarkpro17]

Hi anthony, Holes are drilled all the way thru the short 2x4 piece. The carriage bolts are 6" long and are threaded in from the bottom, and protrude thru to the top. Hope thatmakes sense.

[@spock33]

I found some hooks with rubber on them at hardware and also at Wal-Mart in boating section check out u way like better thank for showing great idea

[@johnpoe8887]

Great rest thanks for sharing it !

[@kevinwilson8039]

Brilliant. So simple and so effective. I'm off to workshop to make one.

[@OneWildTurkey]

Great idea! Thanks!

[@roseandme123]

great Job, very helpful video. Thanks so much

[@monarkpro17]

No problem, glad it worked for you!

[@DanBol8686]

Awesome! Just made mine very similar. Takin it to the range this weekend!

[@pauloaleixo6554]

Good idea, I was just looking for something similar, I'll try to do the same! thanks

[@pestguard1]

so simple , but effective for needs

[@monarkpro17]

You are correct, this project is WAY ahead of it's time! :-)

[@Dreaman7777]

Exactly what I'm looking for, thank you !

[@hanselperez4050]

Loved your idea just a question y a carriage bolt instead of hex bolt so u can adjust easier?

[@airgunwarriors7491]

Very helpful videos. Especially like your tri-pod with carry case that doubles as a seat. I would include a small cushion to sit on myself.:) Trying to make one myself and if successful, will be sure to mention the video that inspired me. Happy Shooting, AGW.

[@ronaldbritton9705]

Get a cushioned bucket lid that spins. Cabelas has them

[@Joker-rr1me]

Just turned around left academy going back home have all the stuff thanks for the idea you da man! Lol

[@monarkpro17]

Hi, these are just standard 2x4's. They are roughly 1.5" each or 3" total. The carriage bolts make plenty of adjust-ability on both front and back. In fact the hooks you install can be screwed in more or less to accommodate your particular gun , no worries.

[@minenotyours6906]

awesome!!,,,My son and I were thinking of building one for sighting in our hunting rifles,Gives me some ideas

[@jeffreyyoung4104]

WOW! Great idea! Thanks for your cool design, I am going to do the same, but with a 2X6 or 2X8 I have, instead of stacking the front blocks. If it works, I may post it for others to use as they wish. Did you ever take the time to paint or do other finishing details? The locking carriage bolt feet is excellent! It gives the best three point leveling I have seen from all the other designs!

[@monarkpro17]

Hi Jeff, I never did paint or finish it. I wanted something that could be treated like a hammer or screwdriver. I have enough things that need attention or extra care. Glad the video inspired you. I bet you made some improvements.

[@stanfordcoffee]

BRILLIANT!!! Very creative. Great for shoot and cleaning. Before I get started on mine I have to make the cradles adjustable to accommodate a 10/22, AR 15, M1 Garand. Any thoughts?

[@ekhoromeo]

Pretty cool

[@Chaple88]

Awesome vid man this is exactly what I was looking to make!

[@monarkpro17]

Hi, I believe the hooks are intended for holding rakes, shovels, etc. They are 50 cents each at a store called Menards.

[@monarkpro17]

Hi, Maybe you can split the back half into two pieces. Then drill holes equally spaced apart in those two halves. You could use a carriage bolt and thumb screw or two to adjust the length to your gun? Just a thought. Good luck.

[@tindo9833]

Awesome sir What is the proper name for those blue hooks please so I ca buy them in the UK Thank you so much

[@veikkovekaman2559]

It's simply and clean . I must copy your ide .

[@N6CRV]

Nice looking Rifle!!!

[@1024truck]

Great video. What size were the U hooks?

[@tehkoalainsurgency]

What a pro, thank you.

[@monarkpro17]

Great, the only thing I would do in addition or differently is either use threaded inserts or epoxy the T nuts with an overnight drying epoxy. They want to work loose after awhile. Also, make sure the epoxy doesn't get on the treads. Good luck

[@Texcajun06]

If you get epoxy on the threads, wait till it dries then clean it out with a 3/8-16 tap, otherwise, I like this approach.

[@GFWoodchuck]

I'm going to build something similar. Though I will make the center board longer so the gun will be on a bag closer to the butt. And I'll be using bags to put the gun on.

[@zekebeagle9029]

Good idea but why the notch? Just a couple of deck screws and glue will hold the 2x4 pieces together just fine.

[@stewartking4289]

Brilliant.

[@jimmyjames916]

I just love it ,, thank you..

[@jsnantic]

nice! thanks for the idea. I will do this with an adjustable lenght

[@libertykj2002able]

Simple but effective!

[@D148521]

Nice. Simple, which is uaually best. Thanks. Donnie D

[@stanfordcoffee]

Thanks, that does give me some ideas. Cheers.

[@reezoshideout]

Great video and idea..I will be doing this soon. One question: how tall are the two "square" 3.5"x3.5" stacked on one another? I am not confident I can get the gun completely parallel. Thanks!

[@johncreen5957]

Great idea

[@TheWanko11]

good idea, Thanx!!

[@dyno824]

Hat's off sir

[@rjmprod]

Nice thanks…!

[@eldavisfire]

God Bless you

[@MrLukeanthony]

What is the purpose of the 2 bolts sticking up at the top of the t piece

[@cragmite191]

im gonna make this!

[@Esportivo_SBC]

Very good....

[@amospena2046]

What are the blue prongs

[@bpiltz]

I cannot find the large hooks... where did you get them?

[@monarkpro17]

Hi, most home improvement stores have those. In my case it was Menards. Good luck on your project!

[@TheM7016]

I need this 😢

[@tubhmoobvwj81]

thanks, I'll go make me one.

[@davesscopehunts]
