Caldwell Medium Varmint Front Rest Bag - Filled
The Caldwell Medium Varmint Front Rest Bag (Filled) is basically a solid, ready-to-use front bag that drops straight into most standard front shooting rests and gives you a stable, repeatable support point for your rifle. It’s designed for varmint and benchrest-style rifles, so it’s got that slightly wider, more supportive shape compared to sporter bags, which helps keep the fore-end locked in without wobble. It comes pre-filled, so you don’t need to mess around sourcing sand or packing it yourself, and the fill is chosen to help it hold shape and reduce sag over time. The contact surface is leather, which helps grip the rifle without marking it, while the polyester body is built so it doesn’t stretch or collapse under weight. It’s basically a “take it out the box and it just works” option for getting more consistency from a bench setup.
-Nathan (Technical Advisor)
These innovative, high-quality leather and polyester Front Shooting Bags function with most brands of front rests.
Medium Varmint Front Bag and Wide Benchrest Front Bag are perfect for varmint and benchrest rifles
The exclusive hook and loop tabs or the Front Rests allow quick installation and removal from the cradle without time-consuming need to lace them on.
The leather gives you a secure rest and the polyester, which will not stretch or sag, allows the bag to hold its shape.
This combination makes for the best shooting bag on the market.
