Would all of these be approved bags? It was mentioned that the Armageddon X-wing had a "V", but it's not different than the Midway small bag or the Wiebad Barricade bag...or any bag really; if you apply pressure in the middle the sides will tend to rise. They all will require hand pressure, and likely less than the triad Wedgie, which is approved. Not looking to be argumentative, just trying to get some clarification and perhaps discussion going. I'd hate to use any equipment that isn't approved.
Referenced cartridge is a 260 Remington.

No big V-bags AccuracyFirst- 8x5x2" Crosstac- 6" Triad Red Tac- 6x4" Triad Wedgie- 6x3.5" Dimensions of bags posted above: Armageddon 7x6x1.25" Midway- 7.5x5.5x2" Wiebad Barricade- 7x3.5x1.25" Not pictured, but I think I've seen it used: Tab Gear- 5.5x7x2" So, is it safe to assume that the bags that I posted are allowed? When I think of formed "V" style bags, I think of what would be common in F class or benchrest style shooting. Rigid, formed bags that cradle the rifle without any pressure or manipulation by the non firing hand, which isn't what I would classify the bags that I inquired about as. But, as I stated in my IM, it's your thread and challenge, so you establish the rules. I'm just looking for clarity. |

Ideal 257312 cast bullet. GC and PC'd. 15.2gr 2400. It wants to do it, but I need to weed out the fliers. Top left is just over 1" and center one is about 7/8".

I'll use the bags that I've got on hand that are comparable or the same as you've previously approved. If that's not acceptable, then all of the previous entries using comparable bags (and there are a lot) should be considered voided.

I have been following this thread for some time gathering the nerve to post anything worthy of some of the marksman we have on this site.
Besides lacking precision shooting skills, I haven't had the equipment to even get close until now. I do have a question on the front rest I could use. Would this be allowed? 
When measuring, we are to measure out to out of the grease ring then deduct 1 bullet diameter, isn't that the same as out side to inside of the grease ring of the max spread? Is there a reason we are to measure this way? Just curious. I have a new stick that is showing some promise & we have a ARF member new to my AO at my place this weekend. I'm hoping to shoot this challenge with him. Here's the rifle. 
Here's the early results.

I'm so confused now...This bag was approved, but the small bags that I posted above would be in question?
Seems like it would be much clearer if the rules stated no benchrest style "rabbit eared" bags or bags that don't require hand pressure for supporting the rifle during firing. |

These are the two types of rear bags I use most often. Are they OK? Both require pressure to support the gun.

I can nearly guarantee that the a2 style stock in the pic is larger than the shoe in the other pic. Using that for scale...How in God's name can one bag be approved and one not be approved because it's too large? Also, I can't imagine why a monopod being used with the hinge engaged and a balled up fist grasping it for support can't be used in the SPR class. That is exerting MORE human control over the rifle than using one of the randomly "approved" bags..... And one front rest is fine but if you put a towel over it it is not? This is bizzare

I've shot this a couple of times aiming to get something at least in the 0.7's. I keep screwing it up and ending up just under MOA. Not bad but I know I can do better. I've shot plenty of .5 groups but lately it has been a little tougher. Maybe the cooler weather? Fri was kind of windy and I couldn't get real comfortable but was shooting decent. Ruined a .7ish average with two pulls and one really bad shot on the last group. Damnit...
Home built Mega MKM with Larue 18" stealth, Leupold MK4 3.5-10, tactical yoga mat. 
Without the one bad miss....(a scope over adjust changed POI on 4/5) 
With the bad miss... I'm blaming the ammo or the powder or the weather or something  .

The point of 5, 5-shot groups is to prove that you and your rifle are capable of One MOA... "All Day". Is that an older 700? |

Yeah, I can understand what it’s about, just seems like a lot to me just for bragging rights.
And yes, it’s an old 700 PSS I picked up about 25 years ago, been a good shooter, but since I switched over to 6.5X284 it hasn’t seen any use, yesterday was the first time I’ve fired it in at least 2 years. If it’s permitted, once the holidays are over, I’ll shoot the course of fire with the pellet rifle I practice with to keep in shape, it’s amazingly accurate. |

It's not just bragging rights. People make purchases off of discussions and claims off forums. So real money is on the line. Many people may gets disappointed when they hear amazing accuracy reports about a rifle, only to discover that claimed "accuracy" consisted of cherry picked groups.
There was a brief time on SH where one was even allowed to post a picture of a single group, but had to shoot a 6x5 to prove accuracy. |
