Rear Bag rider for Tac A1

[trob]

I've been trying to find a rear bag rider to put on my tikka chassis and could use some input. I think I want an angled bag rider like the XLR 'Tactical bag rider'. I'm used to hunting with a regular tikka stock, and I use the angle in the stock frequently to adjust elevation.

The chassis has a little pic rail that screws into the bottom of the chassis, but im not sure if thats a standard size/thread/spacing that companies would use. Do you think the XLR would work if i remove the rail? I like the looks, material, and angle of the XLR bag rider, but I'm also looking for any suggestions you guys might have. Here is what Im trying to clean up:

Thanks

If you can give me a few measurements I might be able to make something work for you. What is the hole spacing for the two screws that hold the picatinny rail in place? And what are the dimensions of the screws themselves?

I shoot a TAC A1. I have found no reason for a rear bag rider. I use a small T.A.B. squeeze bag under the grip. Depending on the target, I find loading the bipod stabling the rifle enough to make the shot.

I’ve always wondered about that bag rider! How’s the fit? They make bolt shrouds and handles for the Tac A1. I’m on the lookout for a good vert grip WITH a decent thumb rest for my Tikka Tac.

it fits up great, tight, I like it. To me it makes using a rear bag easier.
MT makes good stuff for Tikkas. I’ve got several of their pieces over the years and been pleased with them all.

Adjustable bag rider... biggest game changer that’s I’ve ever done to a rifle.
