Abstract
The invention relates to a holder device configured for fastening to a substantially cylindrical body, such as a gun barrel, for the support of equipment such as a sight. The holder device comprises at least two holder elements, one holder element being configured for secure fixing to the cylindrical body and the other one being arranged such that it is movably coupled to the first-named holder element. According to the invention, the holder elements are arranged such that they are rotatable in relation to each other about a common axis between a first position, the transport position, and a second position, the activated position, and one of the holder elements is axially displaceable along the common axis from a position of equilibrium defined by a spring arrangement. The holder device reduces the transmission of axial recoil motions between the holder elements.
