Abstract
Abstract A portable, foldable rifle or gun support having a rear riflesupporting yoke formed by the upper outturned ends of a pair of intermediate, ground-engaging legs; a forward rifle-supporting yoke similarly formed on a pair of forward legs pivotally supported on the intermediate legs adjacent the ground; and a rearwardly extending leg pivotally connected to the intermediate legs to vary the angle of the rifle supported by the yokes, the elevation of the yokes being slightly variable by the angle between the intermediate and front legs.
