Adjustable sighting and shooting firearm mounting vise
View Patent ↗An adjustable sighting and shooting firearm mounting vise receives a firearm to assist new shooters or handicap shooters with sighting and discharging the firearm. The firearm mounting vise includes a base plate, a positional-adjustment track, a forend support, a stock vise, a slide stop, a trigger actuator, a trigger switch, a controller housing, a wireless receiver, and a microcontroller. The base plate supports the positional-adjustment track. The positional-adjustment track allows the forend support, the stock vise, and the trigger actuator to translate along the base plate to accommodate a plurality of firearms to be secured by the firearm mounting vise. The slide stop secures the positional-adjustment track to the base plate. The controller housing protects electrical components including the microcontroller and the wireless receiver. The microcontroller receives control signals through the wireless receiver or directly from the trigger switch to activate the trigger actuator and discharging the firearm.
