What rear bag for seb mini?

[1bamashooter]

Needing a new rear bag. I got a Mini to replace the Farley I lost and was using a SEB bigfoot with it and liked it but haven't been able to find one. I've been looking at the Edgewood Twisted Gator but I'm just not sure. So what do ya'll recommend?

I have a Mini-X and shoot a McMillan Kestros stock.

I'm using this bag. It's working great for me.

Flat Top Dr. Rear Benchrest/Long Range Bag with Carry Handle

The Flat Top Dr. Rear Bag with Carry Handle is a top of the line 1,000 yard competition rear bag made with an integrated carry handle for easy carry to your bench. It is 4" tall to the bottom of the ears and is completely flat across the top. Designed for stocks with a parallel buttstock and...

You really need to match your Rifle stock to the Rear bag..more so than what front rest your using.
Make sure it tracks well in your spacing and bag height, and angle if needed.
I too use the Flat top DR with my Kestros but its a custom build by Protector.
Call them up and they will guide you and help you build one that works for you...They are awesome
to work with and I have several from them all custom.

For my MBR Tooley, after talking to the folks at Protektor - I ordered a rear bag with these specs:

Ear Spacing: 3/8
Ears Height/material: Rabbit 2 3/4" high, 3M silver slick material
Main Bag Fill: Heavy Sand
Ear Fill: Regular Sand
Slope: Custom slope (3 degrees) to match McMillan MBR Tooley stock.
Weight: 20 pounds 3oz.

Yup..thats the one newbieshooter

A buddy has a mini and he has to use spacers under the rear most places and a down hill range really gives him trouble. He needes 3+ inches.
I don't know his bag height. Id guess 2 or 3.
All i can do is share that tidbit.

I prefer Edgewood. The leather is stiffer on the sides.

The Custom Protector would work just fine for your buddy. He's just using the wrong bag.
4 inch Protector is the Ticket, with the right spacing for his stock of course.

What a nice rifle stock the Tooley MBR is..a true classic and beautiful lines.
Its always been one of my favorite Rifle stocks and mine has a Kelbly Action and chambered in
6.5x47 Lapua, and It rides the bags so well.

Did you get with Ernie on SEB Bigfoot recently? Another bag choice may be DIMA..

Like the chunk of wood under his rear bag lol

Do you get any vertical on your targets with the stock bottomed out like that?
