I have an old Caldwell Rock BR rest, never used it since the little black sandfilled bag they use is crap when I had my old BR 6. 5 x 284, which I sold. I dusted it off and I now use the A 5 McMillian stocks with the picatinny rails and a bipod. I am looking for a better BR rest with an adapter that I can use for my A 5 stocks, or a type of bullbag compatible to fit A-5 stocks or a BR adapter in the existing Caldwell Rock BR rest. I plan to use it for F Class. Hopefully you guys can lead me in the right direction on picking BR rests as well.
Which BR rest

I made an aluminum, 3" wide benchrest plate for my varmint rifles for working up loads. Works great for me. Will try and find a pic.

I have gone through a few. Caldwell, etc.
Ended up with a Grizzly Cast Bottom and a Joy Stick Top ,off E-Bay. Outstanding cheaper in the long run......
Shadetree Top
Adapters Sinclair is nice out of stock now.

If you want to keep the cost down and use your existing rest
1 like other said get or make a 3” bag rider to add to your stock. For F class you can have a lot of bag contact. If making one you may want it 3/4 to 1” tall where it contacts the ears. Also inlet the bottom so you have a 1/2” rail on each side helps keep contact off the center of the bag. To try it you could use wood and a pic mount to attached to your stock.
2. Get a 3” bag from Edgewood or Protektor. The standard bag from either should mount on your rest.
3 Get a Rear bag to fit the stock
