Gun cradle?

What do you guys use as a cleaning cradle? I am in the market for a rifle cleaning set-up and I have my eye on an M&M set up as well as a Plano version. Any tips before I buy?

I just lay it on the table. But I have used a vise and then wrap the stock in leather before putting it in the vise in order to do boresighting.

I bought one of them gun cleaning kits at Walmart that comes in the wood case. It has a cradle that you can put in the top to hold the gun. Does a pretty good job and doesnt cost a lot. Plus it comes with a cleaning kit.

I'm in the market for one of those too. I'm tired of having to find a place to lay my rifle while I clean it or work on it.

PACT any kind with a clamp. Mine just pressure fits the stock in place. There are several out there. Just anything to hold the rifle in place.

I ended up getting a Plano shooters case that has a removable cradle system. The cradle portion works quite well, I used it when I was resetting the relief on my scope. I would recommend it for the price (about $30) if you are looking for a cradle/cleaning supplies storage solution.

I have an older version of this one, I absolutely love it for cleaning the long guns.

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.
Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

I flip the bi-pod down and set the rifle on the table... nothing beats a bi-pod... ok, maybe Chuck Norris beats a bi-pod... but nothing else!
