I want to get a rifle rest, but debating what to fill it with.  Maybe airsoft pellets or rice?  Any thoughts?

I bought a Huge bag of polymer pellets on E-bay for cheap for my last bag.

Before than I used rice.

I don't like using organics like rice, beans or wood pellets,

They absorb moisture unless you're in a desert.



I've been looking for a supply of the plastic pellets that are roughly 'jellybean' sized.

Plastic grocery bags works for the butt bag on my rifle.

I use sand for my front bag and beans for the rear bag. I would think plastic pellets would work well for a rear bag.

I used the following to make my own-

Walnut tumbling media

Plastic grocery bag

Black sock

Zip ties

Put the plastic grocery bag in the sock first. Fill the grocery bag with the walnut media until it's as full as you like. Tie off the grocery bag and zip tie the open end of the sock. Now fold the remainder of the sock over onto itself and zip tie again.

*I used the grocery bag to help keep the media from working it's way out of the sock. The plastic doesn't make noise when it's filled and in the sock.

For my BULL'S Bag X7, I used sand. It seemed the most stable; to hell with the weight.
Honestly, Cat Littter sounded best, but once it is wet, I was told it was ruined.

I liked the stability and frequency absorption of the sugar sand, although it does weigh about 35 pounds when full. I'll wheel it to the range for the ability to sight in easier; this, to me is the easiest way to set up my rifles; AR and others, as it sticks like glue and I can do it all alone.

Cheers.

Sand is great for front bags if weight isn't an issue.  I have been using poly beads from the wally world for rear bags successfully.

I've got a coffeecan full of spent primers.



Maybe I'll give that a try.



I was thinking about using a sack full of spent .22 shells.



Now I just need a thick Cordura sack.
