What rear bags are you using with FX Impact and bag rider?

[TDK]

I have an Impact with what seems to be a very common build - Saber Tactical rear bag rider, and Saber Tactical long arca/picatinny front rail. I use an Atlas bipod on the front with the legs at 45 degrees. I looked at a lot of bags and only found one rear bag that fit the height requirements to level my rifle: https://wiebad.com/mini-range-cube/

With the bag on its side, the height allows for level orientation or muzzle slightly up/down. On its end, the height is about an inch taller and allows for muzzle down further. Before this bag I was stacking foam pads with a couple different rear bags and never quite getting the right height. This greatly simplified things.

What rear bag are you using on your Impact w/bag rider?

I just got my Impact last week and a bag rider yesterday, so this thread is very timely for me. For now I plan on using what I have, which is a Caldwell rabbit ear rear bag.

That's one of the bags I was trying to make work. With the atlas bipod up front, it takes 4" under the bag rider to level the gun. This meant stacking 1 inch foam pads under that caldwell bag. The bunny ears also didn't seem to interface with the flat/square bottom of the bag rider very well and seemed a bit inconsistent when moved around.



Something else I saw mentioned are these adjustable scissor platforms, that you could pair with a small minimalist bag: scissor platform . Unknown how stable a setup would be, but they seem inexpensive.

And one more idea that I'm sure would work with the varied heights and weird shapes we are dealing with: Flatline Ops body-bag

I've been looking through the photos from RMAC 2021 for ideas and most of the competitors seem to be using a rabbit ear rear bag of some sort. The scissor stand is interesting but I'm afraid it might be too wobbly. Personally, I will probably stick with a bag of some sort for the back. Some time ago I made some of my own bags out of heavy socks and airsoft B-B's.

You can buy a Triad bag. It works on most anything. It is triangular and works well with other than traditional stocks.

I have not tried all the rear bags, but I would say some kind of aftermarket bagrider is esential when shooting the impact on a bench. I use the saber tactical, which are on the previous pictures. Would be great if the guns was shipped from the factory with similiar, as they can not be that expensive to make.

I like the idea of the Flatline Ops but even with the segment design I see it constantly flattening/unrolling.
I have two different size cylindrical, one flat sorta pillow shaped and one wedge that work either alone or stacked. I slso have four 3/4” thick 1x6’s that I stack as necessary. They have wooden dowel pins in them and mating holes so they don’t slide around when stacked.

any size that works 4x6 round or a caldwell bag works well few bean bags

The medium height. Works .

I reload shotshells. The bag shot comes in works great.
Not the plastic bag, the cotton one.

I lean toward the Protektor leather rear bags. They work well and smell good too! Made in USA and priced competitively with the made in China Caldwell. Come in a number of various styles too.

I use a pint sized Game changer bag. Not for impact but other guns.

Weibag range cube mini is what I use. I like the fact it’s a squeeze bag and can adjust height by just a little squeeze with my support hand….I have tried the “ear bags” but always return to the weibag…The wife uses the Protektor deluxe rear bag

My vote would be something in the design range of the Armageddon Game Changer Bag.

I use this bag for rear support while tuning on the bench/punching groups.

On the steering wheel of the UTV (just setting my rifle right on top of the bag) while out on the farm taking out pests.

Throw it on top of the UTV roof and throw my rifle on it when shooting Bullfrog.

Throw the bag onto the bench railing of my deck to make a quick shot on a House Sparrow or Starling sitting on the Purple Martin House.

My opinion would be buy a bag that does it all.

Forget the stupid bag get a Saber monopod

If you are looking for a strictly bench setup or shooting from a relatively flat surface I second this vote. The monopod is great for those applications!
