wannabe_keeper Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hi, I'[m looking into getting some sort of gun rest for my Jimny for lamping for foxes and rabbits and just wondered what the best/worst ones are on the market and if anyone has had better success with homemade ones? I can just put some plumbing tubing on the wing mirror but you don't get much room on my little Jimny wing mirrors!? It is an on/off road vehicle so something non-permanent/removable is best. Ive seen the bags that go on the door... are they any good? Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleaner4hire Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I use a bean bag now. I used to have a specific window bag but the small bean bag is more flexible and just as stable off of wing mirrors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubby Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 this is what I made for my old vitara, dent puller and some bits of ali tubing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabe_keeper Posted January 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 which suction cups did you use stubby to be able to connect the uprights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 which suction cups did you use stubby to be able to connect the uprights? It looks like a double suction cup cut in half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubby Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 it was actually a treble, but a double would work too, I had to run a little sandpaper inside the cut handle, just to take out a mill or two, and thankfully Im a junk hoarder and had the ali pole (old curtain rail) on the bits pile, however, on my new grand vitara, Ive gone for the simpler approach, a piece of 2" foam, folded in half and an elastic band around the whole thing, this is then simply pushed over the wing mirror, when shooting all my shots are leaning out window aiming towards front of car, I then also have one of those disabled drivers steering *****, that I attach to the steering wheel, allowing me one handed steering, one hand holding rifle butt out of window, resting on foam, if that make's sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
