Python HD (Heavy Duty) Barrel Vise from Viper Bench Rest
With the birth and rise of the Carbon Fiber barrel shooters and home hobbyists have asked me about a barrel vise for them. After several trials, failures and some scrap parts the Python HD is here! This vise can also be ordered with the standard top or Sporter top or with both tops! the standard top will grip barrels diameters from .75" up to 1.4". The Rimfire/Sporter top will grip barrel diameters from .475" up to 1". Please read the bottom of this
This is a HEAVY-DUTY barrel vise!
Some of the features of the Python HD:
1: It is 1.3 INCHES WIDE. This barrel vise will grab hold of most, if not all current production carbon fiber barrels out there on the receiver/action end of the barrel. No more worries about crushing the carbon fiber on your new barrel.
2: The top is 7/8” thick. The standard Viper barrel vise top is 3/4” thick. Thicker material provides even more strength to the top.
3: 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.
4: This vise will grip diameters from .750” to 1.4”. A larger range than the Standard Viper barrel vise. The Rimfire/Sporter top will grip barrel diameters from .475" up to 1".
5: The top and bottom of the vise incorporates 4 diameters of very common barrel sizes. .875”, 1.2”, 1.3”, and 1.4” diameter barrels. This feature provides more surface contact for gripping the barrel. This helps with other size barrels as well.
6: 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.
7: The Python 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.
8: The Python HD has the same mounting hole to hole dimensions as the original Viper Barrel Vise. No need to drill new holes in your workbench!

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.
