Ledespeed Stands

Real Avid has introduced the Speed Stand, a compact and lightweight portable cleaning stand that can carried along to the range or used on the home gun bench. Its design makes it ideal for “temporary gun benches." Adjustable feet ensure stability on any surface, while Gun Gripper technology securely holds firearms in place for cleaning, maintenance or modifications.

The bench's collapsible design allows for easy storage when the work is done, and of course for transportation. An adjustable 10- to 16-inch footprint also ensures compatibility with a wide range of rifles and shotguns. Meanwhile, two different-angled Gun Grippers simultaneously ensure a secure fit on most stocks, handguards, and barrels.

Folded Speed Stand

While the stand's portability is obviously useful for transport between the range and home, hunters may find a further use for it. Upon retracting to its smallest, 10-inch setting, the stand can then be made to fold flat into its own footprint. This means it can be easily stowed into a suitcase, or suitably sized rifle case. Whether flying or driving to an out of state hunt, hunters can carry this along in case optics need to be checked or adjustments need to be made in camp, prior to the hunt. What's more, weighing in at just around two pounds, the stand won't even weigh your bags down too heavy.
