Re: Range Time with the New Stock.
Thanks all! Yes, it's a Blackhawk bag...I think. I've had it for ~4 years now. The bag had the rest built in on top, so it's all one piece. I just put a few sandbags inside it.
The rifle is an IBA TPR in .308 and I just put the McMillan A4 stock on it recently (bought it from JW-Precision). The optics are a Leupold Mark IV, M3, 3.5 - 10x. Bolt knob done by AZ Precision...very happy with the new stock and bolt knob!

Good looking rifle. Bet it shoots better bedded too. Your krylon paint? Does it hold up OK?

I can't remember! I've had if for several years and I looked on Blackhawk's website yesterday and couldn't find it. It's a great bag! It has the padded top with the padded "cradles" and a big zipper that you open to fill the bag with whatever you want, sandbags, clothing etc. I have some old canvas bags that were used for lead shot, that I filled with sand and inserted them into the bag. There is an inner "sack" that has a draw-cord closure to hold everything inside in place. Then it closes too with fas-tec(?) snap buckles and it can be attached to an LBV with the other two clips. Great system! Wonder if they still sell it, and if not, why?

Yeah, I'm going to take it out beyond 100yds soon to see if it still shoots, then I will most likely bed it anyway. Thanks for the compliment.

Don't know yet...the paint is new, but I did notice that it has come off at the tip of the barrel and crown after only 60 rounds, but that's to be expected.
