I am in the market for a set of portable front and rear rest bags for quick scope zeroing at National Competition as well as other larger matches.


So what does everyone use that is easily portable (ie. has "D" rings or handles).

The set I usually use isn't that portable, but they were free so its all good. I used to use a single big bag that had a handle and was easily transportable.
It is something like this one: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/610698 ... een-filled

How do you like that bag Chris? Solid base? Easy to position to change elevation?

Its pretty nice. I use it now as my cleaning station to hold the rifles in. I switched to the multiple bag setup just so I could put the front bag back where my hand holds for silhouette to get a truer zero. But the big ol single bag is nice for portability. Tough to change mags in. Gets hot brass laying in it often. Not as stable for zeroing out to 500 meters (hard to get the elevation into it). Come to Iron Man and I'll let you test drive it :)

If you use this in conjunction with the front tackdriver your gun is rock solid. Depending on the gun and scope you may need a 2x4 block under it, I have two 6" 2x4's with a 3/4 piece of plywood glued on top, works for most guns.
