Having a strong tool to hold your guns is incredibly important. Something as simple as mounting an optic is best accomplished using some kind of vise. I really love my top-tier Arrow Products Rock Vise and Orange Vise, but they are also out of budget for some people to own. Tipton’s new Best Gun Vise 360 provides great strength and versatility at an affordable price!

About the Tipton Best Gun Vise 360
I first saw the new Tipton Best Gun Vise 360 at SHOT Show 2024. Smooth stainless jaws with channels for ARCA and Picatinny border a 3” capacity.
The vise also has an extremely wide range of motion and adjustment.
It can be mounted to the bench with mounting screws, a mounting plate, or C-clamps.

What’s in the Box
The vise, securely packed in specially-cut foam, comes with instructions, soft honeycomb jaws and ARCA/Picatinny jaws.
Vise in Action
I decided to use C-clamps, easily securing them to the purposely flat portions of the vise base, and started out with a Henry .45-70 X-Model in the vise.
All held securely and it was easy to rotate it in all sorts of directions with easy access to the entire firearm.
Next I secured my .223 trainer using the ARCA rail and positioned the rifle for installation of an Area 419 Hellfire brake.
This vise comes with two sets of jaws: soft honeycomb and ARCA/Picatinny.
The soft honeycomb jaws protect conventional stocks while the ARCA/Picatinny jaws have built-in channels for both attachment systems.
The ARCA/Picatinny jaws are also well-suited to cylindrical objects, like a rifle bolt.
Conclusion
The Tipton Best Gun Vise 360 encourages all forms of gun work in a solid, yet affordable platform with great versatility.
The ARCA/Picatinny and honeycomb jaws allow for safe securement of all different types of guns, while the price makes it attainable!
