The Tipton 282282 Compact Range Vise transforms any shooting bench into a precision workstation with its collapsible design and secure firearm retention system. This portable vise eliminates the frustration of trying to hold firearms steady while performing maintenance, zeroing optics, or detailed cleaning tasks. Built from reinforced nylon construction, it delivers professional-grade stability in a package that folds down for easy transport.
What Makes This Different
Unlike fixed bench vises that require permanent mounting, the Tipton Compact Range Vise clamps securely to any flat surface up to 2 inches thick. The collapsible frame reduces storage space by 60% compared to traditional metal vises while maintaining the same holding strength. Adjustable jaw pressure accommodates everything from rimfire rifles to large-frame hunting rifles without marring finishes or damaging stocks.

Range sessions become more productive when firearms stay perfectly positioned for scope mounting, bore sighting, and cleaning procedures. The vise maintains consistent hold pressure across different firearm weights and configurations, from lightweight AR-15 platforms to heavy barrel precision rifles. Weather-resistant materials handle outdoor range conditions without degradation, while the chemical-resistant finish withstands repeated exposure to gun solvents and lubricants.
