Questions about my new NEO X

[Canuckienns]

Still sorting out my new NEO X rest. It replaced my Sinclair tarted out front.
Not all that happy with how it tracks, probably my learning curve.
I filled the front 2 piece bags with heavy sand. It is packed rather hard.
Looking for insight and opinions from other NEO X users
Rear bag is a Protecktor Milford style.
Last shoot I experienced some vertical stringing.
17- pound light gun 6MM dasher.
What say ye.

It’s your bag set up. Dump the heavy sand and try regular play sand. Don’t pack them super tight. The two piece bags are convenient but do not track or handle the same as a single bag. They are more difficult to get set up for sure.

^^^^ This
You don't want heavy sand or packed in your front bag, thats where your
vertical is coming from.
Make sure your rifle is tracking smoothly also.
If it feels like it's hanging up from the rear bag, also a no no.
If the front of your rifle wants to move faster than the back, the front will rise.
Has no where else to go.

Thanks guys for your heads up. I will try it.

Do you you have an issue with the front bags losing sand?

Yes. Nothing a couple of pieces of gorilla tape over the filler seals won’t fix.

I think know I am going to get 1 piece bags. I just like the way they fit the rifle.

@Canuckienns did you ever try that? Did it help? Or did you stay with the 2 piece front bags?

Any suggestions?

 

[Canuckienns]

Ditto! when I swapped out the heavy sand to regular sand I gorilled taped the plugs.

Does it track fine for you?

 

[Canuckienns]

Does not track fine. Still working it out.

I just switched back to the 1 piece 3” bag again. I feel it tracks better than the 2 piece L shape.

What bag are you using? I want to get one.

I want to know where you can get a one piece bag? I still have the 2 bags that came with the X, mine don't leak sand but instead of leveling the rest level the bags!! I use the 3" level that was sold by a member here that went out of business but Brunos or PMA has them (the levels).

Who makes a 1 piece bag for the Neo X? And it would be nice if there was a 1 piece bag with the 3M material on it.
