VANGUARDPorta Aim Gun Rests

This item is a mid range item at a mid range price.I think that it is absolutely ideal for someone like me who is returning to shooting, is not interested in hunting, but loves firing an air rifle at targets up to and including 55 metres.So what do you get? A sturdy tripod based gun rest, which will be more than adequate to use as a bench rest or for firing in the prone position. I have thre rifles, a Gamo whisper sting, an FAC Weirauch 80K, both of which being break barrel rifles are not really suited to fittinga bipod, on the other hand, this rest, with its v shaped pillow is ideal. My other rifle is an S400, soon to be replaced with a BSA CLX. I don’t like bipods in use or to fit and therefore this rest suits me for bench or ground when in the prone position. Firing the Gamo is fairly straightforward, but the Weirauch at 18+ft lbs is a different rifle altogether and whilst it’s weight helps control the power this rest is a fantastic aid to support a powerful “springer”.Build quality is excellent, the aluminium tripod legs when opened offer a degree of resistance, but more importantly offer a very steady, indeed rigid, rest. The pillow itself is well filled and whilst I tend not to use the velcro fastening for the "springer" I do for the PCP and it holds the stock and barrel nicely. I particularly like the single handed height adjuster, which is smooth, but when the adjuster ring is dropped into place holds the gun firmly locked and exactly where you set it.Far far far better than a bag in my view and well worth £44.99.

This rest is great. Very study and easy to carry around. Height adjustment is simple to use and can be done 1 handed. Tripod legs fold out making it stable when shooting. I use this on a spring powered air rifle.

Great and sturdy. Me & my partner go to the range so it was a little present for his birthday. It is completely adjustable for the height and will hold the gun with no problems.

Bought about a year ago, at 75% the price it is now. Still looks brand new. Only four stars as the padded top could overhang the metal plate it sits on. The fact it doesn't makes it very easy to dent the stock. Very sturdy construction but still light weight.

The media could not be loaded. Very sturdy well made. Good that rest comes away from main body so I can swap over to rifle clamp. 8 1/2" to12" with legs out . Overall agood bit of kit but would say a little overpriced could of been a tenner cheaper

I had read a few negative reviews on this about quality etc so I can only speak for the one I recieved. It's excellent, if a small portable rest is what you need for bench or prone shooting then this is superb. The movement and quality are good for the price as is the beanbag. The screw attaching the top mount is the correct size and the rubber feet and general feel are quality. It's very stable and swivels nicely and quietly. May take a few seconds to get it initially set up but overall very pleased.

Well built, sturdy to use and very portable.I am pleased with the quality and usability of this product.

I’ll start by saying that I use these where I teach so used a lot already. They are easy to set up and adjust both on mats and natural surfaces including pebbles. They are stable as a front rest and a great lighter than a bag if you have to walk any distance. Great product when used within its limitations.
