I'm wanting to make a stand for my rifle when I'm at the range or for when I clean it outside. I've done some googling but can't find anything I like for a single rifle. Does anyone have pictures of one they have made that they would care to share?

Simple range rifle stand ideas

All kinds of stands on pintrest and some youtube instructions on making them, but I find that a flip down place to lean your rifle on your range box makes alot more sense than a whole other piece of gear to lug around.
I already have WAY too much stuff when I go to the range, so I'm always trying to find a way to get rid of something and combine things to be able to tote around less. Here are two examples, and generally you just set the box on the table, flip it down, and it's a steady and firm place to rest your rifle.
I bought mine here off @Spiderman317 . Not exactly like these two pics off the internet, but really nice in curly maple. Highly recommend his boxes at a very fair price!
I honestly can't imagine going with both this heavy box and a whole separate rifle stand, and I don't need to, because it holds all my stuff and holds my rifle when I'm not messing with it.

They're not hard to make if you have access to a welder.

I have two of these that are driven into the ground to allow setting up just about anywhere. If I'm shooting out of the bag this is all that is needed and is portable. Very handy for impromptu shooting in hunting camp or just setting up somewhere in the woods.
From the Colorado Muzzleloading Association. A pretty simple add on to a rifle stand. A little tray could be very handy.
I do have
Something like this is exactly what I'm thinking of. Thanks you.

That's the same one as in my picture. My son in law on the right and two of his boys on the left.
That came off the prize table at one of the Buckhorn Skinners Squirrel Shoots.
Now that I know what to look for I see the tray. Nice family there.

I've made one that I can clamp to a table. Bill
I like that. Quick, easy, and very functional. I need to make one just like it.
That's what I was going for. I wanted so.ething that wasn't big that I would actually want to take with me to my range and wasn't cumbersome. I was lucky enough to already have the box laying around and had some scrap rebar that was put to good use.
