Attaching protektor front bag to Rock BR

[Todd308]

What's the best way to attach a protektor front bag to a Rock BR? I've read in previous posts that some flip the bag plate and zip tie the bag tags to that, but for me that didn't really provide a secure fit, it would still slide/roll, no where near as solid as on my older non-BR Rock rest.

I ran across a 3D printer plan that looked promising but you could only buy the plans, not the 3D printed parts.

Thanks!

I slid the 4 ears on the bag under the bag plate and then attached the retaining rails with the included hardware.
It takes a few minutes but when done mine was tight.

I have glued them in place with GE silicone caulk. They can be removed without damage to bag.

Your answer is on RFC to your question.

at the end of the day I just cut two longer bars that hold the bag down, and removed the bottom plate all together. There's now plenty of bar to clamp the bag ears and pull them tight. It is kind of interesting to me that they made such a poor system to work with the Protektor bags when they are probably by far the most popular. Washers are just there to check to see how it works at the range but it seems super solid/tight, assuming it works out fine I'll trim the screws shorter.

I have done something similar on a Sinclair and a Grisley rest. Works fine.

Same here. Haven't had any troubles with this setup.

I used zip ties on mine, I didn't flip the plate but just got the zip ties long enough to reach completely under the plate. I only use this rest occasionally for sporter style rifles.
