The Hog Saddle

Over at the Firearms Blog, a review of a product called the "Hog Saddle." Basically, it is a clamp or vise for the fore stock of a rifle, which can be attached to a standard tripod (i.e., for a camera). He writes:
It was a most beautifully machined vise designed to hold a rifle and called the Hog Saddle. The Hog Saddle is the kind of product that you see and instantly realize the usefulness and application. Its the kind of product that makes you slap your forehead and say “I should have thought of this”. Its the kind of product that you realize meets a need you never knew you had or if you did realize you did have the need, this product instantly makes your life simpler and better.

The Hog Saddle is in essence, a 16 oz. CNC machined vise for your rifle with an industry standard mount that sits atop a commercial camera tripod. The singular purpose of The Hog Saddle is to provide a stable, solid, universal thread attachment for your rifle on a modular lightweight, adjustable and adaptable mount (tripod). It is crafted out of a single block of aluminum, hard anodized to provide a base for camouflage and is resistant to corrosion. The vise itself been machined to provide a contact patch of urethane pads to protect your rifle, reduce recoil and muzzle rise and preserve accuracy.
