The Viper HD Barrel vise is the next level up for Viper barrel vises.

This is a HEAVY-DUTY barrel vise!

Some of the features of the Viper HD:

1: The Viper HD top is 7/8” thick. The standard Viper barrel vise top is 3/4” thick. Thicker material provides even more strength to the top.

2: Top has an improved counterbore allowing the barrel vise top to “cant”/tilt. This will allow for this vise to grip even on Palma barrels.

3: This vise will grip diameters from .750” to 1.375”. A same range than the Standard Viper barrel vise. The Rimfire/Sporter top will grip barrel diameters from .475" up to 1".

4: The bolts are truly GRADE 8 and will handle torque of up to 94 Ft/lbs. The heavier duty bolts are a major upgrade from the studs used in the original Viper Barrel Vise. Wrapping the barrel is recommended when torquing the nuts over 50 ft/lbs.

5: The Viper HD uses HEX HEAD bolts! If for some reason one of the bolts get damaged it can be easily replaced if needed. These bolts are also peened in place during production to prevent them from falling out.

6: The Viper HD has the same mounting hole to hole dimensions as the original Viper Barrel Vise. No need to drill new holes in your workbench! All Viper brand vises (Viper and Python) mounting holes fit the bench vise mount and hitch vise mount.

The powder coat finish is so durable it grips barrels like a gorilla. The powder coat finish will also NOT harm the barrel in any way and will not leave any marks whether blued or stainless. With our barrel vise there is no need for leather, spacers, cardboard or used toilet paper rolls unless from certain manufacturers, see below! DO NOT use an impact gun on the nuts! Mounting holes are 9/16” diameter and 5.750” center to center spacing. This vise may leave marks on a Cerakote or painted barrels (use wraps to prevent paint marks). This vise may crush the carbon fiber part of a carbon fiber barrel.

Vises are available with our standard top, rimfire/sporter top or with both tops.

We have found when working on rifles manufactured from some companies Howa, Remington or Tikka that the action can be very tight. This is not bad, it’s just how they make their products. Viper recommends wrapping barrels of Howa, Remington and Tikka.

Viper advises wrapping the barrel when working with rifles where the torque of the action to barrel is unknown. Viper also advises wrapping the barrel when torquing the nuts over 50 lbs. This will help to prevent damage to the powder coat finish. This will help your Viper Barrel Vise last for years.
