Looking for a cheap rifle reset to sight in my scope. Are gun rest bags the way to go? Just looking for some recommendations. thanks

This is cheaper then mine I got. Make sure it is filled. Good rest....

Couple of sand bags. Trick is to have enough front bag (height) for the gun to be supported level AND so where you can fire it in a comfortable position with proper sight picture, etc.

Scrap of 4x6 and an old shot bag, or cloth bag, full of sand.

I prefer QD bipods now and a monopod is very convenient too.

I have that set as well.  The rear bag isn't great for an AR, but the front bag is great.  I got a squeeze bag for under the grip.

Honestly it isn't rocket science.  I have many types of bags, rests, and a custom rest I built but all you need is something to support the front and rear of the gun.  Sandbags, rolled up blanket and a rolled up towel for under the grip, anything you can find.  An old inner tube filled with sand, or stuffed with old clothes, makes a great rest.  I made front bags from the legs of a pair of jeans I cut off to make shorts.

I have several options, some bought and some made.  My favorite is a wool blanket wrapped with just enough duct tape to make a pillow.
