XRING rifle stock rear bag

[savageshooter86]

Can anyone tell me what rear bag ear spacing fits their Fopen model stock? Xring Fopen stock. Thanks * I have a 3/4 spaced for my Cerus and on my Xring model stock it slides a tiny bit left to right in bag. Think I need a 5/8 spaced bag for it

I use 5/8". 3/4" can work, but I pefer a little more engagemen

Thanks Jay. I thought I recall you shoot them. 3/4" I can slide my stock left and right in the rear bag and see the space between the stock and ear. I think it could possibly be moving under recoil and causing some accuracy loss. But not 100% sure on that. Guess I'll order the 5/8 and give it a shot

FWIW, I can get the same level of precision using a 3/4" spacing (especially if you fill the ears really well), but the rifle is a bit more squirrelly in the bag. For me, it mostly affects the reset between shots. I think you are doing the right thing going to 5/8" though.

I use a 5/8” also on my X-Ring

I had the same question when I ordered my xring. Jason suggested a 3/4 was best for the stock.
I’ve gotta seb Bigfoot 3/4 and picking up my new rifle from my smith this week.
We'll see how she rides
