Recommendations on front bag for bench shooting

[mahiman]

I enjoy precision bench shooting my bolt gun and an precision AR15 in 6.8. I have been using stacked sand bags. It’s always been a pain. Wanting to go to a good quality stable single front bag. I have an squeeze sock and a gap rear bag.

There are so many choices from cheap low quality to bags up to 150. Quality and durability is the goal.

I would appreciate any input or recommendations.

Get a Caldwell rock Jr.

I use a Wiebad range cube.

Reason for a bag over a bipod or front rest?

Another vote for Caldwell.

Thanks for the information guys!

A couple of bags have caught my eye. Anyone have experience with the crosstac x bag or the caldwell Tack Driver x bag?

Researching the weibad cube and the Caldwell rock tomorrow.

I’d go bald eagle over the Caldwell rock

I use a bipod. Never had a problem.

Anybody using a 'bulls' bag?

 

[mahiman]

Curious about that on too!

I’d be interested to hear people’s thought regarding bag vs bipod. I recently started shooting off of a bench and use my bipod, an Atlas with rubber feet. I really enjoy it but the rubber feet have a tendency to slide when I load the bipod. The top of my bench is a smooth wood surface and I thought I might add some skateboard grip tape toward the front where by bipod feet rest. Another option I’ve considered are different bipod feet. Thoughts?

Likely loading the bipod too much. Once you take the slack out of it, that’s about all you need.

I have the Caldwell Rock jr and it works. For $35 you can't beat it.

Certainly looks nicer But it is quite a bit more expensive.
