I bought one for my r700 in a krg x-ray. It is unbelievably solid with a heavy fill bunny ear rear bag.
I'm not going to lie, but the video of the bag rider on a 22LR (that really didn't even move in the bag - no recoil) wasn't all that exciting ... at least to me. No disrespect intended.
Any tests on how it would track different than other bag riders on a rifle that recoils?

No video on centerfire yet.
Have as many centerfire rigs running them as rimfire.
I'll see if I can get some shooters to give their experiences with centerfire application.

I don’t own one as I have a Deserttech. But a few friends of mine that have used them say they are the best and make a big difference .
While recoil control is integral the ease and speed of elevation adjustment is as important for consistent elevation performance.
This creates a fine tune adjustment instead of a bag crush with your face or white knuckle squeeze.
The video displays this feature as well.

Just looking to really understand the real differences. As mentioned, no disrespect intended at all. The video mentions "trick engineering that makes this a much better bag rider".... didn't get into the info on the trick engineering.
The "trick" engineering is in the ease of bag pressure when the obstacle isn't level and of varying heights.
Rarely is the bipod the exact height or on the correct setting for a full stage.
With the integral shape and inclination in the geometry the Bag Bullet covers much more of the height window for on target elevation
without over working the rear bag.

I have a bag bullet on an MPA comp chassis. It is hands down the best bag rider I’ve used. The angle, diameter, it’s hard to explain. It’s the only bag rider I’d use on a chassis
My item is the AI in picture 2 above.
It's a 338 lapua. It's nose heavy and a bitch to shoot. It's the hardest rifle to shoot that I own.
Looking at the stock without the bag bullet, it should be easy enough to see there is no way to consistently bag the rifle.
With the bullet, control in a bunny ear bag or on a round cylinder bag is perfect as you can be.
I've shot for 45 years and never had the issue the AI chassis stock creates until I got it, the abortion that it is for bench or prone, and the bag bullet fixed it.
Best to you.

I've got 2, one on a MPA comp and one on a MDT. The magic for me is in the way it returns to center in the bag. I need a 3rd for my MPA Matrix.
I have one on my MPA comp.
A huge improvement over the MPA one in ease of control of the rifle.

That's not really how I use my bag but I'd like to try the bullet out for it's ability to stay centered. I pull the gun into my shoulder fairly inboard as LL likes to say, and then slide the bag for rear support more so than use the bag to adjust my elevation . That said, I'd like to give it a try because it looks cool and should help with staying centered in the bag, mostly because it looks cool and good claims about it. Is there one for a Vision chassis? Probably like to test it out on the visions first then might get one for my trusty Ole 223 in the W3
Nothing for the Vision yet.
We do have them for the Whiskey 3 though.
PM me and we'll work it out.

I added one to Rebecca's Rim-X. It's in an Oryx Chassis.
She's used the standard bag rider on my ACC and although it worked, she still struggled with it.
My buddy @Schütze has a couple of the Bag Bullets on his ACC that she tried and really liked them. She said they were much easier to control and they stayed on target better.
Because her Oryx is the older type, it doesn't have any provisions for attaching anything to the lower area of the butt.
I removed the butt section to allow me to drill and tap the aluminum.
Once done, I installed it and now have an even happier wife.

I sort of wish is wasn't tapered...a bullet if you will.
I hesitate because I really don't want to piss on the vendor's thread and I'm no expert in any case.
But a sloped bag rider means...to me...that as the rifle recoils (and I'm talking center fire, not rim fire) and that rider moves backwards over the bag, the muzzle is going to rise. And I think we may all agree that the rifle in fact does recoil prior to the bullet leaving the barrel.
I was very interested in trying to adapt this to a JAE chassis using their pic rail accessory that goes on the bottom of the stock but in thinking about it, what I really want is a bag rider that runs parallel to the bore but can be adjusted up or down a bit as needed...but stay parallel.
I'm sure this product is going to be appreciated by many and I wish the vendor the best of luck with it. It looks very well made and of high quality overall.
But please...tell me where I'm wrong being cautious about an angled bag rider during recoil?

If you are letting the rifle recoil free from the rear bag, ie tracking like fclass it will have some muzzle rise.
If you are shooting it as a system and preloaded on the bipod this should mitigate the muzzle rise problem.
As many instructors recommend the rifle will take advantage of any weakness in form or path of least resistance.
This will happen on riders of all design if your not driving the rifle.

The elevation adjustment is a fine tuning effort as opposed to potential death grip or crushing the rear bag with your head/cheek/cheek rest.
The shape and angle achieves this over the flat/mostly flat offerings the market has for the chassis it fits.

I love my BB on my MPA.
Curious about possibly setting one up to work on an A5?
I love my A5s and bag management would be a lot slicker on variable terrain with a Bag Bullet or an iteration of it.
Especially for my 2 newer shooters.

be much more invasive getting it attached.
