Rear shooting rest for hunting

[Lethal_Chica]

Hey guys! Hope everyone is well. I am looking for recommendations for a rear bag for hunting applications, not the bench. I would like it to be lightweight with enough stiffness that I can lay it flat or stand it vertically if I need to change the height for my shooting.

I am shooting a GA Precision 6.5 SAUM with a Manners EH1 stock and an Atlas bipod.

Thanks for the recommendations.

Happy Hunting!

I haven't tried this myself, but have you checked out the rear bag that Broz, et.al. came up with on Long Range Only?

There's lots of other options out there. I personally wouldn't use a wedge bag with the options we currently have. You can't use a wedge bag on-top of a pack frame, tree limb/stump, fence post/rail, etc.

I got one of these, they are great. They make a smaller one now too I think.

I use a Bison Tactical- Udder bag. The old style not the new fat boy. The one I'm using is from when they were working with warhorse development. Warhorse's version is the Saracen.

I put Git-lite fill in mine and it only weighs 2#s but I haven't notice a change in usability from when it weighed 6.5#s.
It works well for a field bag. I can put it on top of a post or rock to rest the forend on with a nice wide stable place, or I use it as a flexible rear. the legs can be the rear rest when I don't need much elevation, or I can turn it to the side when I need a lot under the stock.

Take a look at this one. I use rugged ridge rear support. Much easier to pack and use.

I thought of something else you should know about in your quest. I had a "Str8Laced" bag from Tab Gear. While it's a very lite weight bag with several features, it seemed like the internal fill broke down to where you couldn't get it to pack into a solid rest. At this point in my shooting it seems like a solid rear contact is pretty important.

I carry Phoenix shooting bags with me on all my western hunts. I hunt Coues deer every year on they provide a great steady rest in lots of shooting positions.
