As you all know, the different configuration of our rifles make some of the traditional, excellent shooting rests difficult, if not impossible to use, and the whole point is to make hitting the target easier. I tried to search but found no discussion asking this question.
I use a bipod for prone, but that makes up 20% or less of my shooting, so what do you folks with the AR-type rifles (I have the Stag Hunter 7) do for range/bench shooting?
A. Always use bipod only;
B. Front bag only;
C. Combo of bipod and rear bag;
D. Combo of adjustable front rest and bag rear;
E. Combo of front and rear bags;
F. Long rest w/lots of depth in the middle to allow the pistol grip and/or mag to clear;
G. Recoil reducing rest (for e.g., Caldwell’s “lead sled”); and/or
H. Something else
Please tell me what you use and why. Last, if you use one of the recoil reducing rests, how do you lug 25-75 lbs. of wt to the range along w/your rifle and the rest of your range gear?
I really appreciate any responses you folks can give me. If you’re like me, buying something like this usually involves a process of spending hundreds of dollars buying stuff you don’t like, won’t work, etc., before you find what you like, and I’d like to avoid it if possible.
