Bipod and rear bag, bipod and rear monopod, or bag rider and rear bag. I’m going to be setting up my soon ro arrive M3. I shoot from a table whenever feasible. Which do you prefer?
Impact shooters-what setup do you prefer?

Same here as above.
The bag rider makes a major difference.
I use the Saber Tactical bag rider.

Up until this week, it was on a Atlas bipod. Just got a nice Leofoto mini tripod setup (LS-223C or LS-362C w/ LH-40 ballhead) and think that's all I'll be using going forward. Give them a try, you probably love it too!

I be honest the impact is hard for me to shoot off of a bench ( compared to a conventional rifle). The picture shows my set up. I do not like bipod The rifle is a Rem. 700 in a bench rest stock. Have to use your imagination as to how the impact would work

Im surprised you didnt mention a good Tripod - With a Swiss Arca extended rail to get the airgun nice and balanced. But you said M3, so not sure how the Sabre Tactical Swiss Arca Extended rail will work. Its great on the M2, but the block is not the same in minor but significant ways. So maybe the Tripod should be left out for the moment after all.

On the bench bag rider, rear bag, and bipod in the field tripod on ARCA rail.
So extended ARCA rail is highly recommended

The trigger guard/pic rail are interchangeable between the M3 and all earlier versions of the Impact so any ST or K&L extended Impact rail would work on the M3.

Accu-Tac FC-4 G2 F-Class Bipod with Saber Tactical monopod. I should have got the bench version.
I had the k&l with monopod but like the saber mono better .
I like that the bipod is wide and not easy to tip over. And I like the saber monopod because it goes up and down quickly.

Another question. If the Sabre Tactical bag rider, using the FX grip and adapter, or switch to the Hogue grip with the through handle bag rider? I had a hogue grip with the through handle mount and I liked it. Made a great carry handle too. I have a NIB Accu Tac BR 4 gen 2, so I’ll go with that.

That setup is Awesome! Boyd stock on that 700?
That scissor jack looks to be out of an '82 Buick and makes the package...Just a guess.

I’m not sure it’s a Boyd stock. There is a fellow who sells on eBay. I think it’s his stock. Mike’s stock. It has an aluminum bedding block built in The scissors Jack is just a generic Jack. Junk yard $5 and a little welding. I like it because it’s FAST and extremely adaptable to high or low elevations. That’s my groundhog set up. I can get “on” a hog in seconds. Not as stable as a real benchrest set up but DARN close. I can’t shoot prone and there are just to many times trying to shoot off a car hood or roof just isn’t good enough . You could do the same thing with a bipod BUT this is much faster and infinitely more adjustable. That table can also be adjusted. I can set it up so I can shoot pigeons off silos using the same set up. None of this is my original idea

Gents,
Bipod, rear bag, and a Bag Rider. But, as a long time bag squeezer(!), I found the Bag Rider got hung-up in the bags and didn't move up or down as smoothly and easily as I wished. This lead to a quick brainstorming session, followed by a trip to the milling machine. This is what I came up with...
Makes a WORLD of difference on how it rides the bags. Well...at least to me it does.

I would not agree for my use. I use the full bag rider length while shooting at various negative angles and distances and I see a couple of snags taking place doing that. However, I have been known to strap a slick surface to the top of my bag, so I do see the point in the modification to the bag rider.

Just received my M3, and in comparison there is a larger bore in the block of the M3 for the First regulator, which compromises the screw depth that is available. The forward two screws are not so well anchored, as using adequate length screws would violate the first regulator. Just wondering if there will be a better solution to this. I really like the Swiss arca and extended rail to balance the airgun on the tripod. The short Picatinny does not allow attachment to my tripod as the carbon bottle and forward trigger guard are too tight. Maybe I can find a shorter Picatinny mounting plate for the tripod and use what it has. Just wish the Sabre Tactics or FX could come up wit a solution, such as a wider block and wider trigger guard. Anyone else try to make it work?
