I’m looking for suggestions/feedback on a rear bag I can us on the “tiny” bag rider on my AIAX (2.5”). Intended use is prone with standard height Atlas bipod... looking for a dense/squeezable (pinch) bag to support elevation control. TAB gear or Armageddon (small, large or “X”)... what are you running - positive feedback appreciated - thanks!
 
have tab bags one pillow and two smaller you fill , a Caldwell rabbit ears smaller bag that i have never found a way to use on the tables I shoot from and one edgewood and two gap rear wedge type bags kinda small all soon to be replaced with a lab jack and custom made wood toper for the bag rider to sit and glide in .
 
Saracen does literally everything for me and excels at all of of them phenomenally. Rides stuff amazingly well and also flattens or is as tall as anyone would ever need (works great on prone AR shooting too.)
 
Our company started out of frustration with rear bags and the lack of thought put into the design of them. Try one and if it doesn’t work well for you we will adjust it until it does or else you can send it back. Check out the fill demo on our front page.

for load developement and full prone stages i use the #13...these are very solid heavy stable bags and the price is right...if you go with one get it with the heavy sand.

Our bag is designed to give you the stability of a rabbit ear bag......without having to carry around a rabbit ear bag.

The top corners fold in on the stock and keep it from fishtailing and the fill locks together to keep it there. Watch how much differently this bag reacts compared to a typical rear bag.

your bags are very nice and very solid and ive seen/felt one at our matches and for an event where i had to carry a bag around with me id most likely chose your bag but for load development and or an event where im stationary id take the protektor with heavy sand.

Typically guys are using firm rabbit ear style bad as more of a “rest”. The bag is doing 95% of the work of keeping the rifle in place while the trigger is pulled. Once you learn to fully engage the rifle with a tactical style bag, you can shoot as good as if your rifle was in a rest but you can do it from a small tactical bag while controlling even the heaviest recoil.

The question is not which of the 2 bags is better. That’s like asking if a hammer is better than a screwdriver. They are two tools with different functions. The question is what is your goal. A benchrest type bag is typically used to hold the rifle in place while you pull the trigger. A tactical style bag is used to add the final amount of stability needed once your body is aimed at the target and the rifle is connected to your body.

If your goal is good groups in a benchrest/f class type setting then a BR bag is fine. You don’t need to spot your own hits and can strictly control your timing and set up to make it fit your equipment and the terrain.

If your goal is being able to drive the rifle effectively from multiple positions and/or situations on the fly, a tactical style bag is what you should be looking at. So both bags do what they are supposed to do. It’s a matter of asking yourself what your goal is when you close the bolt.
 
Armageddon Gear Squishy rear bag is tits. I had been looking for a stretchy/squishy bag for a while and came upon them recently. The squishy design and small fill material allows for super fine adjustments and it is lightweight yet heavy enough to take some wobble out of a spotting scope if you have some wind vibrations issues.

I run an Atlas CAL on most of my rifles and this is my favorite rear bag now. It is also perfect for adding minor height/stability in positional tripod shooting, should you just need that little elevation adjustment under the support elbow/knee (rather than forcing a position or readjusting the tripod).

I can’t recommend it enough.

i agree with you 100%.
 
BT12-QK monopod with a quick detach leveraged rail, doesn't dangle, never forget it at home because it stays always attached unless I want to take it off, with the quick release button and my manipulating my wrist up, or down I get the same effect as with a squeeze bag but more stable because movement is only straight up and forward, or backwards and down.

Give these a try. I have 3 of their bags in different sizes as well as two suppressor covers. Great product and awesome support.
