Educate me on rear bags please

[SteveOak]

Thanks for the replies.

Pretty sure the bipod in the pic is the one I have. Here is a better pic.

Atlas BT10-LW17 bipod

The stock has a 1/2" wide, flat bottom, rounded sides.

What sort of a rear bag would be optimum for this shape stock?

It looks like you plugged the gap tooth stock. Some of those stocks have a part that will allow you to plug the gap and run a normal bag. So any bag with ears will work but a bag with ears separated by the width of the stock base will work best.

That said, you still have a problem. That kind of bipod will not allow the rifle to track in recoil. Research SEB Bigfoot and F Class bipod to see what would be the most accurate. Realistically that stock and bipod is meant for something like PRS and it would work for that.

Thank you @ronsatspokane. Very helpful. I can see how the Bigfoot would work well.

I Googled F Class bipods. I see what you mean.

What is a "gap toothed stock"? Googled returned some interesting images but nothing related to a stock.

Gap thoothed is what I jokingly call them That big gap starting at the grip and going toward the butt of the rifle is, from what I understand, supposed to be used as a hood on pack to prevent recoil or something. Bad desigh in my opinion and it prevents using a conventional bag rider.

I always thought it was meant to keep the pistol type grip from something like an A2 stock from hitting your squeeze bag hand during recoil.

Its meant for your left hand to pull the stock into your shoulder

That was my 2nd guess.

What it truly does is make you appreciate a regular stock even more if you try to shoot it off a bench.
