Rear bag spacer ( donut )

[20PPC]

Are the any spacers ( donut ) available that will fit the Seb bigfoot bag or possibly suggestions on something else that may work.

Doesn't SEB make one?

It looks like Edgewood offers one for the gator so that should work.

Edgewood makes both soft and firm spacers.
I'd hit up Ernie. His old email product lists a spacer/donut, but its unclear if its for the Bigfoot.

If needing a bunch of height, I think folks use the horse stall material from Tractor Supply.

Stall mats work great .

Make them from the matting they sell at Tractor supply it is a 1/4 " thick and they sell it for a couple bucks a foot and it is 4 " wide. you can make quite a few cheap. .. jim

What stall mat material are you talking about ? is it the thick rubber matting? I though it only came in 4x6 sheets?

No, they have 1/4 and 3/8" in rolls they cut off what you want..... jim

When using the stall mat, I have seen people cut out the center, like a donut. Does it need to be cut out? Why not leave it solid?

Those rolls are round hay baler belts, the stall mats work better.....

The purpose of the donut shape is so your bag doesnt rock when filled tight

I don't think so I grew up on a farm and the round bailer belts are way harder than the rolls of reclaimed rubber that TSC. sells by the foot at a 1/4 thick it is soft and easy to cut and has no cords in it. you can cut the middle out to take the rocking away, I use a silver marker to outline the bag and then cut it out.... jim

I could certainly be wrong, wouldn't be the first time in 75 yrs, I'm use to seeing it in the dealerships around here in rolls and Farmers Co-op. But if doesn't have cord like a car tire it's not baler belting. I stand corrected...

This is made from reclaimed rubber and the rolls are 4ft. wide and they cut off what you need it is very cheap per foot. Also great to stand on and if you drop a case and at 76 I do that a lot it doesn't dent the necks or ruin the mouth of the case.... jim

^^^ I use the same. If not packed too tightly the sand can be adjusted to compensate for sloping of the surface below. For instance at my home range the concrete ledge that I set my front rest on is flat but the surface just behind it (where my body and rear bags lay) has a significant slope away from the surface that the front rest is on. I can shift the sand in the Seb 'donut' to have it shaped with a slight wedge to keep my rear bag riding surface parallel with the front rest.
