Rear Bag Help

[Old Navy]

Not knowing what I was doing when I built my BR rifle I bought a Richards Microfit stock. From day one I could not get it to track consistently. The butt is 1 3/8" wide and flat from the grip to butt plate. Almost zero drop at the heal. Tried a couple bags that were too narrow. I finally bit the bullet and called David at Protecktor. He made me a custom DR bag. The width is perfect but I have a little problem. The bag is made to fit a stock with some drop at the heal. When I set the gun down on the bag and work it down a little it is not making full contact. Should I shoot it like this or build a tapered shim to put under it? Thanks. Later! Frank

My friend had one built in a custom Protektor DR bag that matched his width and also was straight accross with no drop in it. I think he paid $145 filled with heavy sand.

It will work fine, I shot a setup like that for a while, it tracked good.

Sounds like you bought a stock made for 600/1000 yard shooting or cruiser/unlimited and are trying to shoot point blank BR? seems like the judges would have told you what the deal is................

I built the gun to shoot 600/1000 but not in sanctioned matches. I shoot just for the enjoyment. I have a couple places here I can shoot anytime I want. I could see the dot moving a little and decided the rear bag was the problem. Never thought to mention the stock didn't have any drop at the heal when I ordered the bag. I have the bag and can't send it back so I was just asking for the best way to use it. Later! Frank
