Description
Anybody who's tried to run a bore brush through a rifle balanced on a towel knows the struggle. The Tipton Gun Vise Gen 2 fixes that by giving your firearm a stable home while you clean, do routine maintenance, or set a scope. Rather than clamping down on the barrel like a mechanical vise, it cradles the gun between a rear clamp and an adjustable front rest, so everything sits level and secure without any stress on the finish.
The rear clamp uses non-marring rubber pads to hold the stock in place, and the front rest offers five preset positions along its length so you can dial in the right fit for a compact carbine or a full-size hunting rifle. The front rest also adjusts vertically, which is a small thing that makes a big difference when you want the gun angled a certain way for solvent to drain or for a clear line on your scope rings. Rubberized feet keep the whole setup planted on the bench instead of walking around while you work.
What the VISE MOD Dock Adds to the Gun Vise Gen 2
The standout upgrade on the Gen 2 is the VISE MOD accessory dock. This model ships with the VISE MOD Tool Holder, giving you a spot to park cleaning rods, picks, and brushes so they aren't rolling off the bench mid-job. Down the road you can snap on other VISE MOD pieces like work lights and magnetic parts trays, so the vise grows with your setup instead of forcing you to buy a whole new one.
Who Gets the Most Out of the Tipton Gun Vise Gen 2
This is the value pick in Tipton's Gen 2 lineup, and it earns that spot. It handles bolt guns, ARs, break-action shotguns, and full-size pistols with the same easy setup, which makes it a smart bench mate for weekend enthusiasts and folks who just want their cleaning routine to go faster and cleaner. If you maintain more than a couple firearms, having a proper vise on the bench pays for itself in saved frustration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What firearms fit in the Tipton Gun Vise Gen 2?
It's built to cradle a wide range, from bolt-action rifles and ARs to break-action shotguns and full-size pistols. The five preset front rest positions let you adjust for different overall lengths, and the vertical adjustment helps you angle the gun for the task at hand. Because it cradles the firearm rather than clamping the barrel, it works across a lot of platforms without stressing the finish.
Will the Gun Vise Gen 2 scratch my stock or barrel?
No. The rear clamp is lined with non-marring rubber over-molding specifically to protect stock finishes and barrel coatings. It holds firmly without leaving marks, which is exactly what you want when you're working on a nice rifle or shotgun.
What comes with the Tipton Gun Vise Gen 2, and can I add more?
This model includes the VISE MOD Tool Holder for keeping rods and tools within reach. The VISE MOD dock accepts additional accessories sold separately, including work lights and magnetic parts trays, so you can build out the setup as your needs grow.
Is this the same as the Tipton Best Gun Vise Gen 2?
Not quite. This is the standard Gun Vise Gen 2, the value model with a fixed rear clamp and five preset front rest positions. The Best Gun Vise Gen 2 is the step-up version with two sliding clamps on an aluminum rail and dual VISE MOD docks, so if you want more adjustability that's the one to look at.
