    Bench rest bags

    Looking to get the above and the Allen brand has taken my eye at £36-40 I see there is cheaper ones and more expensive ones.Any advice taken onboard,there just for pellet/grouping testing.

    Thanks for sharing,they look very good and will do the job fine,but it’s not very clear if they come as a pair like in picture,mk3&mk4 is it just the front for that price and you have to buy a wedge bag bag in too

    You can get the same benefit by using a rolled up, or folded towel placed on top of a cheap plastic toolbox, which can also carry your chrono, spare mags, pellets etc.

    Of course it doesn't look as "flash" but cheap & does the job.

    These;

    From our sponsor, they come as a pair and they are very good quality, I have two sets one of which I use for actual shooting and the other which is lightly filled and used as a rest for maintenance.

    I have some unbranded Chinese ones from fleabay...half the price and about a two week wait.

    My only comment is I used polystrene beads to fill mine....please for the love of God don't do the same!
    Bleedin' things go everywhere no matter how careful you are - getting statically attracted to everything other than the fill hole in the bag which appears to be an anti-gravity singularity in space-time that repels all polystrene matter.

    I bought a set of these, from eBlag. Item 322587606803

    They work fine with my .223Rem. Just fill them up with plastic beads.

    Or if it does, just add a bit of Char Sui Pork, a few prawns, some peas, a splash of soy, velly nice!

    Lots of folk use rice, some use sand although I've heard that sand can damage the seams?, polystyrene balls, airsoft ammo. I just use well compacted, (fresh!), cat litter and other than a very slight amount of dust residue after a long'ish session it does for me.
