Rear shooting rest ( bag ) or accurate monopod ?

[NDAR15MAN]

I am just starting to get into long range shooting off of a bench. No matches yet. Have always prairie dog hunted.
I bought a 223 savage FV at cabelas a few months ago when they were on sale. Put a weaver T36 scope on it and just got in back from Jim's duracoat. JOHN Deere Color theme with decals. Looks cool. Anyway for my question....I have a Harris bipod on front 6 to 9 inch. Should I buy a accu-monopod for rear stock or a rabbit ear rear rest ? Will be using this item while target shooting and Prairie dog hunting off if bench only. Thanks. Marty

I might try a sock full of airsoft BBs. It will allow for bag squeezing and faster and larger range of elevation. It could also be rolled left and right on a bench to allow for tracking or windage.

Plus it'd weigh a whole lot less and cost less.

With that said the rabbit ear style rear bag will likely allow you to be the most accurate.

Rabbit ear rear bag!

My AccuShot monopod is a neat little device that is useful in the field or on the bench. Just don't take it to an F-class competition; not allowed.

Ok. I did not know those accushots were not allowed. Thanks for the heads up. Marty

I use an accushot when taking kids shooting because it's easy to set the rifle up for a single range.
I didn't really like it when shooting PRS comps myself. I much prefer a squeeze bag rear for that. Shooting off a bench only, at one distance, the rabbit rear bag is great.
I don't prairie dog shoot but I thing I would prefer the squeeze bag from what I've seen.
YMMV

I bought a new MPA chassis a couple of months ago. It comes with a mono-pod on it. I had Masterpiece Arms swap it out for their best barricade stop. I use a squeeze bag for PRS and a SEB rear bag for my FTR and Benchrest.

I think I might go with bag. Can use it on different guns. My banks for the help. Martyd
