Educate me on rear bags please

[SteveOak]

Kidd rifle with a Victor Titan 22 stock, Atlas BT10-LW17 bipod

Looks like this but without the rear sling stud



I would like to evaluate ammo for 100 yard performance. What do I want for a rear bag?

Call the fine folks at Protektor--They have what you need and will guide you just right--quality usa made--stand behind the products--very reasonable $$--Fill with Kiddy play sand and you are good to go- skip the rice--skip the kitty litter -heavy sand is Too much it will be like toting a car battery around you will hate it--GET THE HANDLE on the bag you will discover that is the best part
Great folks!! You can make "spacers' from small squares of an old yoga mat to adjust height
That material makes a great elbow pad as well you need that too

 

[Dusty Stevens]

Show that pic to josh at protektor and tell him how high your front rest is and he will make you one

 

[jonbearman]

Take a look at protektor bags. They may even know exactly which one you need.

 

[D Coots]

SEB makes good bags, but protector is USA made and first class.

Are you shooting off a bipod or a front rest? That will determine what type bag you will need.

This is what I use with a bipod. $35 on Amazon.

If you're using a traditional bipod like the Atlas shown in the image, I would suggest that a squeezable rear bag might be a better option than a sand-filled, "eared" rear bag. Typically, F-TR shooters using ski-/sled-type front bipods that have their own [front] elevation adjustment use eared rear bags. In contrast, those using a traditional, pre-loaded front bipod may benefit more from a squeazable rear bag to provide better elevation adjustment. I favor the the oversized rear bean bag listed below, but other size options are available.

Something like this would be a very good option for the OP‘s butt-hook stock.

I use a Protektor 13A rear bag w/slick side ears and 3/4" spacing between the ears on my Pro Varmint MTR. Repeatability is almost as good as with a one pc rest.

shoot off of sand bags and accuracy will improve ,,front bag close to receiver and squeeze rear bag to hold cross hairs on target\

I think that’s a mini range cube. I like it also for that type stock with a bipod.https://www.brownells.com/gear/range-gear/shooting-rests/mini-range-cube-bag/?sku=100035576

Buy a Caldwell / fill it with corn cob media. You don't need a bunch of weight for a 22..
Since you have no way to adjust front elevation you can squeeze ears for final micro elevation adjustment.

That's the way to do it, trouble is that he's got one of those gap toothed stocks designed for PRS where the precision level is lower than that of benchrest or F Class. God only knows who designed that kind of stock but I have one that I'm going to try and create a solution that fills that damn gap. Got a deal on the stock but the time required to fix the design may end up costing more in the long run.

Ron I totally get what your saying about that stock design, but mostly I wanted to thank you for the chuckle I got from it.

Yeah, I was out in the shop the last couple of hours trying to build something. Not working out. Really need a part scanner and a 3D printer.

I use a Rock Jr. Front rest with a Geissele squeeze type bag kind of like you are referring to and very much prefer it to my eared leather bag. I have two squeeze bags with different amounts of material to accommodate the wide range of stocks and rifles I have to shoot.

A 3/4” wide rear bag will get what you’re looking for off the bench.
