Filled the BE Bag with paver sand. Took awhile

looks good , squeeze the sides in enough to support the rifle snd your good to go.

Played around with it in the garage this morning. Trying to figure what height rear bag to get. Leaning towards Protektor 13B hard bottom.

I would beg to differ, from my experience a 80/20 mix of heavy sand ( chromite) and regular sand in the rear bag with soft ears works well but not in the front, for the simple reasoning that the front will pack down too tight with chromite or zircon and lead to vertical.

I agree. Regular sand in the front bag and the ears on the rear bag. Heavy sand in the bottom of the rear.

I ordered a custom small owl. Should be good for all my rifles now

#1 Small Owl Ear Front Bag

The #1F Small Owl Ear Front Bag is for use on a mechanical front rest. This bag was designed to use most common hunting rifle stocks used today. Available in All Leather, Slick Silver or Cordura. Our bags come standard filled with Regular Sand weighing 1.2 lbs. but you can also choose Heavy Sand...
