Recommendations for reasonably priced shooting bags or sled or something for range shooting.

What say you for a reasonably priced setup to sighting in rifles and load testing. Front and rear bags? bipod and rear bag? lead sled? some other type of front rest with a rear bag? Just throw the bullets down range????

I was kinda thinking something along the lines of a caldwell x bag and some kind of rear bag, or, some kind of front stand with rear bag. Just looking for the most effective on range steadiness, bang for your buck to test the system, not me. I will get other stuff down the road for actual hunting and/or nrl hunter type stuff.

Cut off the legs of some old blue jeans. Double sew one end, fill with cat litter (preferably unused) and double sew the other end. Cheap, light, and works well. Make them whatever length you want.

You can cut off or sew up some blue jean legs, or Brownells sells canvas shooting bags you can fill with (dry!) play sand from the local home improvement store.

Or you can usually find some decent drawstring closure bags on Amazon and either fill with play sand or Airsoft BBs. A few years ago I filled a small bag with airsoft BBs, then stuck it inside another identical bag, and tied a carabiner on it, and have used it quite a bit as a rear bag for prone. I use it less now, as I'm shooting prone less, but it still gets moved around to various fixed deer stands, and has held up well after at least 3 seasons of use.

Back in the day when banks moved lots of change you could ask your local banker for bank bags. I'm assuming that isn't a thing anymore.

If you are going to get into nrl hunter, Just get a sand filled Armageddon gear shmedium and use it as a front rest on a cinder block and then a light fill OG gamechanger as you rear rest for zeroing. Both are great for NRL hunter also depending on the prop.

I use the Caldwell bags for bench shooting. The one I use comes with a front and rear bag.

For bench and prone I use the caldwell deadshot combo with some of the sand poured out of them. They work pretty good for the price.
