Hoppe’s HCC Adjustable Long Gun Cleaning Cradle – Rifle & Shotgun Rest

Description

Trying to clean a rifle without a cradle usually means balancing it across your knees or a rolled-up towel, and that gets old fast. The Hoppe's HCC Cleaning Cradle solves that with two padded saddles that hold your long gun steady the second you set it down. Both hands stay free for running a rod, working solvent into the bore, or checking optics, and the over-molded rubber contact points keep the finish on your stock and forend free of scratches.

What Makes the HCC Cradle Worth Keeping on the Bench

The saddles adjust for length, so it handles everything from a compact carbine to a full-size waterfowl shotgun without fuss. Rubber feet keep the base planted while you work, and there's no wobble when you're applying a little muscle to a stubborn barrel. It sets up in seconds and comes apart just as quick, which matters when you're short on bench space or working out of a truck bed.

Built to Travel With the Hoppe's Cleaning Cradle

Because the cradle disassembles flat, it slides right into a range bag or cleaning kit rather than hogging a whole shelf. That makes it just as at home on a tailgate after a hunt as it is on the workbench in the garage. Take it to the range, break it down, and you've got a stable rest wherever you happen to be cleaning that day.

Coming from Hoppe's, a name that's been synonymous with gun care since 1903, this cradle earns its spot as a simple, no-drama tool. It doesn't do anything flashy. It just holds your firearm right where you want it so the actual cleaning goes faster and easier, which is exactly what you want from a piece of gear like this.
