Maidment78 Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Good morning, I have the SEB mini and it came with the wider front bag but my stock is a little narrow for this, been looking for the smaller one but all I have found are unicorns, pots of gold and everything else bar this. Does anyone have one they don't want, know of one or may know someone who can get one? I know these are trying times but this is getting silly. Thanks for the help in advance, P.

The Burpster Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 would one of these fit? As actually not sure if you are using a flat bottomed stock or a round profile? (I too have a mini but only using the 3” wide bag at the mo, so any findings would be helpful!) https://www.opticswarehouse.co.uk/protektor-2-medium-owl-rifle-shooting-rest-front-bag-pt2 OR https://www.opticswarehouse.co.uk/protektor-3-wide-owl-front-bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fill a sock with rice or dry sand and replace your existing bag with it. Pack it down into the corners and mould it about a bit, with a bit of imagination and you will soon have what you want and it will shoot as well as you need. I did the same myself only a couple of weeks ago and the rifle shot very well from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maidment78 Posted August 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Sorted, I improvised as suggested but I used some small cuts of 3mm mdf glued together then I wrapped some felt cloth and glued that in place and then stuck them to the side of the current bag,,., result may not be poster perfect but the stability is superb now and I am ready for the 1,000 yard comp this weekend.

Brillo Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Had you thought of using a front bag rider? HPS and Shooting Shed sell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did use one a while ago on the old rifle but as it is quite light I found that the unit tended to buck a little and having the side supports just gave it more overall control. The rifle is the first one I have had made up and was originally for more PRS style so its shorter than ideal for F Class, but she holds her own and when I learn to shoot I will get a full build made up so no need to mess about.

The Burpster Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 If that forend has an Anschutz rail have you looked at the full width Sinclair foot? I have two for my rifles and they work Really well with the Mini if you take a bit of filling out the front bag and angle the tops of the ears in.....

Ronin Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 Having looked at the image - I think a simple piece of shaped timber to the profile of the stock with the outer profile in dimension confirming to F class footprint would be a better solution Even a alloy plate or Delrin of suitable thickness and width attached to the stock base securely would provide a simple and effective guide to run in your rest to allow true tracking of the stock on the bags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin credible Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 Blimey that thing rattled my teeth out yesterday, it jumped about like a bucking bronco, you’ll certainly notice a big difference when you eventually use a dedicated f open rig. Given the fact it was so difficult to control, well done on the score you got😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justin credible Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 Steve will let you shoot with a mod on anyway. I found it still wobbled about in the rest even with those inserts, you would be much better off attaching a dedicated front bag rider to it.
