Rear rest/bag/monopod recommendations needed

Looking for alternatives for a rear rest of some sort to put on a rifle carried in the field. I often walk in to fields that are off the beaten path or where no motorized transportation can go and set up prone looking across fields that sometimes stretch 800 yrds to the other end. Standard Harris bipod on the front and currently using a sock with airsoft BBs as a rear squeeze bag. Looking for some alternatives. I'd like it to be fairly easier to carry around vs a baseball sized sock in my pocket. Anyone found a rear rest option for field guns to take when hunting?
 
Of what i tried so far, the Str8laced ultralight rear bag. Weighs almost nothing, and can hardly notice it's there. Attached to the loop on the bag and the back end of sling with a ITW Grimloc (lightweight polymer carabiner) have a "bungee ftw sling so it keeps in place and dont slide up/down due to the bungee, while the sling makes carrying the rifle more comfy . can easily be unhooked and put under the forearm as a 'rest' against rockes etc, is large enough for me in akward field positions with bipod legs fully out. And i use taller bipods for field use then the standard harris for my conditions mostly 12 inch leg lengths.
Also it drys up quickly and dont get heavy when wet.

 
I have several several field style rear bags that I’d let go of really cheap. I’ll dig them out and send a pic if you want, then you could try them and decide for yourself
 
I tried the rifle attached monopod and it just isn't my cup of tea.
I used a standard TAB rear bag for years and still have it and it looks and feels new.
Recently, I've come to really enjoy the GameChanger bags. They offer a LOT of uses with the shape.
Maybe look at the GC bags as the do have several sizes and different fills (weight).
 
I like the pint sized gamechanger with the Git-lite fill because the bag can be used for a rear bag or a front bag if you need to shoot off of a log or some rocks.
