Vehicle door rifle rest

[Tugmanade]

Hi

Just wondering what rest are being used to shoot from the drivers side window that’s quite comfy, I’ve been doing a lot of rabbiting on foot since lock down as my shooting buddy obviously can’t be in the same vehicle.
I could do with covering more ground & quicker, hence the need for a suitable rest.

Cheers in advance

One foot of two inch pipe insulation - slips over lowered window, works a treat and cheap!

Did that and it put a lot of wear on the window mechanism.

I shoot from two vehicles , one is my work van ,loads of room and can use pipe lagging on the window,not 4 wheel drive so limited as to were I can go, the other is a discovery, no room whatsoever,window is to close to use so I’ve made a rest that is about 6in out from the window but still not much room to move the rifle so mostly use bipod on the bonnet

Thank you all for your valued input, certainly food for thought.

Cheers

I used to have half a Zimmer frame.
It hung off the top of the door and rested on the mirror. Gave a very wide range of movement.
I don’t recall what happened to it. If you have a care home nearby you might be able to get one. The one I got mine from said they couldn’t return them to the trust’s and the scrap men wouldn’t take them.

Dog-gone-good... best. The others are too obstructive or too unstable.

I cannot, and never have been able, to shoot out of a vehicle if I am sat in the driver's seat.

Just cannot do it.

Mate has one with a foot of steel tube covered in pipe lagging on a small frame. Welded to clip over the Landy wing mirror as a unit. The length of tube gives a great field of view, I make do with a cushion on mirror.

Yup.

Tried. Missed every time.

Of course I miss from numerous other positions too, so maybe this is uninformative...
