Sinclair front bag Q

[Multiracer]

The last time this was addressed here was 2013. What are my options for the front bag on this rest ? I have the low Edgewood and the ears are very low, I have the new Edge and the ears are ginormous. Any in between stuff available for this weird size ?

What are my options for the front bag on this rest ?

Which rest?

The big heavy competition windage model. The bag dimensions are specific to this model.

I ended up making a new top to accommodate the big ear Edgewood bag. It’s the only bag I’ve found that supports the front end of the McM or Manners tactical type stocks. While not the heavy comp model of the Sinclair this would work on it as well.
I did lose the windage function of the rest but so far I’m ok with that.
I used 1/4” carbon fiber for the base and adjustable clamps and 1/8” for the bag hold downs.

Depending on the match rules it appears the bag will trap the rifle. Not legal at some matches. Can you pick the rifle straight up out of the bag without the rest coming with it.

Jeff, that rule has been changed..at least in the NBRSA. -Al

No, you can’t pick the rifle straight up. Not worried about that as I don’t shoot matches.

In ARA as long as you can pick up one end it’s legal. I use this setup on my B14R.
