I currently have the cabelas bag and it's very stiff.
What are some decent bags that don't break the bank. Either pre filled or empty.
This is for mostly bench and maybe some prone.
 

This is the bag you want...get it with heavy fill or buy the heavy sand and do it yourself...they have a lot of other really nice bags so you may want to take a look.

If you shooting more bench and prone F-class type stuff you don’t want a fabric bag....leather with heavy fill sand...rock solid and forms to your stock.
 
If you’re looking for something easily transportable and good for bench or prone, I like the Triad Tactical wedge bag. $21 for the regular size which works well for me. Use the angled side when shooting prone, and turn it upright/tall for shooting at a bench.

 
I've owned quite a few rear bags over the years, from Triad, Armageddon, Wiebad, to Precision Underground. Honestly, my favourite rear bag was an old sock that I filled with poly beads. Best damn rear bag ever! For commercially made ones, the ELR bag from @Precision Underground is the best out there
Much appreciated! ?????
 
I've been watching this thread and looking online at options. Just a rookie long range shooter but clipped off a pants leg, sewed up one end, bought a 5lb bag of dried beans and sewed it up. Valuable Lesson: use a sock and tie a knot. The rear bag worked but I couldn't stuff beans in tight enough to have it keep the shape. The sock works because you can get a little elevation by just a slight squeeze.

Wiebads whiskey charley mini fortune cookie best bag I’ve used. For rear bag and front support. It’s just so solid. If I have to carry one bag that’s it.
 
I've used the TAB gear small bag since getting into long range shooting. Only $20, small enough to take hunting, very well made. Sometimes think I'd like to try the large version (($30), but I'm used to the one I've got.


Come to think of it, that $20 shopping trip to Mile High was the first of many... Talk about bait and switch!!
 
Wish I could sew or I'd make something nice.
I will take a sock and fill with something and tie it off really good.
I'll empty the cabelas bag a bit and see how it acts

Wiebad Mini Range Cube will be on the list for sure.
The ELR 3D bag is very nice and more of what I'm looking for but it's out of my budget.

Thanks for all the replies.

Waste 80 rounds struggling with the wrong rear bag and you bought yourself a 3d ELR!
 
Short Action Precision WC Solo Sac. I got one earlier this year and it is everything I have been looking for in a rear bag, my other 4 now just sit on a shelf.
