The pictured rest is one I bought off of Accurate Reloading's classified site. Someone from IL was building them 10+ yrs back. I also have an AL Bal Eagle w/Windage adjustable top. I use a couple different Protektor leather rear bags.
Someone mentioned blue jeans for sand-bags. Lead shot bags also make great sandbags if you know anyone who reloads shot-shells.

Most of you already know this, but a proper rest is paramount in wringing out the accuracy of any rifle. I am by no means a long range shooter most of the time, but I do like to shoot under 500. To illustrate the importance of a good rest, I have attached two photos. I shot two different remington model 700's withe the same 160 grain accubond handload. The first group was off of a caldwell stinger rest and then another group off sandbags. I honestly shot the best groups I could using both types of rests. Hopefully this will open your eyes.....or maybe it's just me. One rifle had an older Redfield 2x7 and the other an older Redfield 3x9. Nuthin fancy!

I'm rolling the same way !
Cant tell you how much I like that Schmedium !
It was my choice for the Race Gun and now I use it all the time ! Love the handles on each end . Grab and go ! Drop your Rifle on it maybe a squeeze or two and your ready to engage the target ! Boom !!

This is not my typical range setup, but I wanted to show that I was the lone user of a 10-bench 200Y range (http://gfssc.org/). Most of the time, I am done with my intended purpose when people show up. In this session, I sighted my $20 TC Compass in 6.5 CM with a suppressor.
