Which rear bag should I buy?

[NC/Br Shooter]

I'm going to buy a rear bag. Iv got several smaller bags, and one Iv had on borrow. I shoot short range, with a Randolph rest and a revolution stock.
I'd like to find a pretty heavy rear bag, with high, stiff ears and plat on bottom.
What would be the best one?
Thanks

I like Edgewood bags.
Know what width you want between the ears, know if you want the stock down on the bottom or suspended on the ears.
Call Edgewood and talk to him about your style of shooting. Hell help you.
I've got a 3 or 4 " that has really stiff ears.

My choice is Proctor. I use the Dr. model. I have used them for a custom rear bag and a front bag for my front rest. The bag comes filled by them which is a nice touch. They ship out very fast even if you want something different from what they usually carry. There are a bunch of great rear bags out there I don’t think you can go wrong with most. I like Protector prices and quality, and will be a customer for life.

I’ve tried several flavors. My favorite for the past several years is a bag from Lenzi. Call Pat at PMA Tool and tell him the stock you’re using and he’ll recommend the proper ear spacing. Good luck.

Thanks, I went to the sight and do believe, Iv found the one I want. I think I want the flat top model. Just got to figure out the width for the ears then I'll order.
I think the one Iv been borrowing is a Proctor,.
Thanks for the lead.

If you are shooting a F Class or BR the flat is what you want, if shooting FTR a bag with slope is better for elevation with a bipod. A phone call is always best just tell them the type of shooting and stock that you have and I’m sure they’ll get you set up. I really like the 3M slick material for the rear bag. Most importantly get one with a handle, they get really heavy moving it from the line to bench.
Good luck,

you can make any bag heavier with this zircon sand.

Bag sand source in Denver FYI

I have used zircon sand in my shooting bags for years that i got from a fellow shooter, and now setting up for some benchrest and have been on the hunt for a local source to fill a new bag. Well finally filled my tag, found this place in Denver...
