New shooting bags (front and rear) from S2H

[Mike D Texas]

It’s leather. They will be available for the RokStok.

I assumed as much.

Possibly showing some ignorance here, but what purpose does it serve?

What’s the purpose of putting leather on your cheek rest? I first saw that on a gunwerks stock, and they did it on the grip too. I thought it was for the cool factor. Is there more to it?

And

Two main reasons-

1). If you need or want a slightly higher cheekpiece. Few will want if have this issue with the RokStok.

2). It feels good. In cold weather it is much more comfortable than the carbon, and in extremely cold weather your breath can and will freeze on the stock. Same in very hot weather- the stock sitting in the sun can be brutal on a face. The leather is much more comfortable than carbon/plastic.
I and others have been using leather and suede pieces in AR15 stocks for years for similar reasons.



Beyond the strictly functional aspects, it just feels good to use.

I think a couple weeks.

Any update on this one? Looking for a light bag to try out and wondering what the latest is on the update vs the standard molinator?

Thanks

Have to ask @Ryan Avery or @Unknown Munitions.

Enter, the Jellyfish. It’s a simple rectangle bag that is approximately 65% filled. It measures something like 7”x5.5”x2.5”.

That is now the Tea Bag at UM?

No. The Tea Bag is very different.

Hey Form, I'm looking at getting a new bag for shooting at the range/field and hunting (to replace my old super stiff Caldwell bags) I have a bipod I usually use when shooting so will mainly use the bag for rear support when practicing shooting, but hunting I could potentially use it front or rear depending along with the pack.

I live just a bit north of you guys across the Canadian boarder so terrain is somewhat similar, I only hunting the mountains though, not much for open unless in a clear-cut. So I guess question is what bag would you suggest as a one all do all? Molinator, jellyfish or...

Thanks, anyone else input appreciated, diving alot heavier into practical field shooting to prepare for more hunting situations.

I listened to the recent S2H podcast on bags and I think the Answer and Compromise bags are both pretty full compared to how the Jellyfish was described.

There really isn’t one do all bag. The Molinator works very well as a front bag and is usable as a rear bag, but not ideal. The Jellyfish could be used as a flat front bag, but it’s a rear bag through and through.

UM doesn’t list a “Jellyfish”. Is the Jellyfish actually the SAP Light? SAP Light is 7″x 4.5″x 3″ 5oz

SAP Lightweight Bag - Unknown Munitions

The SAP Lightweight bag is a straightforward rear bag that won’t weigh you down! Use it as your conventional rear bag for tactical shooting or hunting. Lots of versatility with a low, medium, and high shooting position from this little bag! Just tether it to your butt stock, and get out there in...
