Murby,

Terminology is tripping up your search efforts. A gun vice is just a light clamp used for cleaning and may be used to mount a scope on a rifle and get the crosshairs vertical. What you seem to be asking for is called a machine rest, as distinct from a mere gun rest like the lead sled or a simple sandbag. The Ransom Rest for handguns, for example, is a machine rest.

Here's an inexpensive machine rest on Amazon. The company makes a better-looking one that Amazon doesn't currently show available, but their site has a description of it. They claim the Dangerous Game version will handle up to 416 Rigby. There is a YouTube demo of it here. I know of linear ball bearing recoil absorbing rests and others, but am not finding them online currently. If you get tempted to make your own, look at the ones in Hatcher's Notebook that look like mini-cannon carriages.

Here's a brief history of these devices.
