I'm looking to shoot a few F open matches this summer. I'm looking for suggestions on a reasonably priced rear bag. I'll be shooting off a Vipers rest.
Thanks

For F Class, you will like the LARGE Wedge:

After checking the info. on the Vipers, I'm guessing you figure a reasonably priced rear bag is around $400.00! For F-class you want a tall rabbit or bunny ear bag with the double bottom from Protektor. www.natchezss.com has the best prices I have found at about $35.00. Fill it to max. with heavy sand from Sinclair. Also check the rear bags at Sinclair.

Ditto - LARGE wedge for f-class. Very stable and still provides adjustment and portability. That's my go to bag if shooting from a bench with a front rest.
Edited: to disclose my lack of knowledge about f-class!

Str8 Laced rear bag is pure awesomeness. Wiebad has some nice ones. TAB and Triad make good products as well.
Depends really on if you're going to go all out for F-class shooting or if you want a rear bag that's going to be use for tactical/practical shooting too.
If it's just for F-Class, I'd lean more towards a nice heavy bag that is comfortable for you in the prone position and is the appropriate height for level ground shooting.
Here's an example of one: Protektor Deluxe Rear Bag w/handle - Cordura | Sinclair Intl

So I bought the Red Tac and I'm not sure it works for me. It is very well made however under the butt of my A5 with an Atlas bipod on the front, I find that laying the bag horizontal doesn't give me quite enough to work with while squeezing it in order to drop the muzzle down. I have to squeeze it pretty hard in order to get the rifle level. I tried setting the bipod up with the legs 45degrees off to lower the front end and now have the opposite problem, too low. Up right it is way too tall of course. Any suggestions?
I have all the types of bags listed here but I would highly recommend a benchrest type bag for F Open. I love my Protektor. You can get bunny ear or Owl ear. I like the rabbit myself.
Good luck.
I did well with my TAB bag at the F Class I shot in but a good front rest and rear rest will be better.

Get the "leech" from these guys. It's what I run in comps, super lightweight and stupid durable. Home · ESC Dynamic Gear · Online Store Powered by Storenvy
I use a liberator wedge and love it, not only does it work but after destroying homos on the range you can destroy their their bungholes off the range, if yall know what im sayin
Well, someone is finally ripping off the Pump Pillow...Anyone know who these guys are?
Try your hand at making one. Then you get exactly what you need and want.
It's not very hard. Even for those of who are sewing challenged.

I like the sage flats bag. The size and fill are perfect, and the price is very reasonable!

A lot of F-open shooters are using the Edgewood "gatorhead" style rest. they have a thick solid base and they don't move under recoil. However, they are pricey, but make a real difference in your setup. Also, there are a lot of F/TR shooters using them as well.
Stay away from the light tac bags for fclass. They will not allow your gun to track properly. You will not notice it at short range but when you get out back it will hert your scores. I use a tube style bag for precision comps but switch to a edgewood for fclass. Make sure you fill it with heavy sand and as hard as you can. This will help with tracking and movement. Also get the shims to raise it up or make them out of wood/rubber belting.
