Title: Gun cradle?
Post by: 10Key on December 31, 2008, 09:23:49 AM: 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?

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.
