What rear bag are you guys using? I have the Magpul PRS on my POF and I really like the looks of the Red Tac rear bag but before I drop the coin, I wanted to find out what others are running. Thanks in advance!

Re: Rear Bag Options
I recently picked up the Tab Gear bag and like it very much. A lot of ways you can use it and its very well made.

Re: Rear Bag Options
It's funny how the feel of a rear bag can be so crucial...
On the square range, for ultimate accuracy, when weight isn't an issue, my favorite bag is an old denim pant leg filled with the "millet" grain. It's got the magic amount of deadness to it, but moves/flows the way it should too. Downsides? It's heavy, not resistant to getting wet, and susceptible to pests and mold.
When I've got to hump my gear, I have another home made "pillow", 3"x6"x9" filled with craft-store fake snow. It is incredibly lightweight, the different side lengths makes it versatile in different positions, is waterproof, has a pretty good feel, and is INCREDIBLY lightweight. The downsides? It has too much spring to it, and the media inside doesn't "flow" into position.

+1 for TAB. Very well built in the USA.

Re: Rear Bag Options
Thanks for everyones input. I guess the thing to do is purchase one and if I don't care for it, purchase another until I find what works for me.
I also like the TAB rear bag on Rifles Only website and I'm thinking I'll opt for that one to begin with and if it doesn't suit me, I'll pick up one of the Red Tac bags.

Re: Rear Bag Options
I bought a pair of these from Sinclair. The large is 3"X4"X5", the small 2"X3"X4".
I bought 2 of the large ones. They're filled with poly beads. About $21.00 ea. I'm happy with them. Since they're rectangular, you have 3 heights to choose from and they stack well.
