Rear bag/stock taper question

[Boisblancboy]

Now I believe the correct orientation is match the rear bags taper to the stock taper.

Now while messing with my new rear bag I noticed I had the orientation flipped. With it flipped I noticed that when I tracked the gun forward and back while looking through the scope my elevation changed very little on the target. Once I flipped the bag back to the “correct” way and tracked the gun my elevation change was more significant.

So my question, is it a problem that I like how the elevation change is smaller with bag in the opposite direction vs matching tapers?

Run it how you feel most comfortable and stable. Check your natural poa with it in either orientation. If you find yourself manipulating the bag ears, etc. Excessively with your weak hand (like when using a tactical rear bag) that will show up when shooting at distance.

Match the angle of the stock to maximize contact. Most times this is the ear side of the bag toward the front
