Protektor Model Owl Ear Front Bag

Great American made product. I hope will last for a long time. I ordered a size small but received Large. Returned and now I get it size small which it’s great for my hunting rifles. Large it’s too wide but if you have a wide stock it’s fine.

As I expected. Quality front rest bag that should fit on my Caldwell Rock BR . I was worried that the rest would come unfilled but it came filled! Which is great!

I bought a shooting rest for my Colt LE6920 M4 Carbine from the NRA and wanted to upgrade the small, inexpensive, relatively light-weight Chinese-made front bag that came on it. After seeing the various shooting rest bags sold on Amazon.com, the Protektor Model #2F Owl-Ear Front Bag, Small was a great fit for my Colt M4 carbine's configuration when using 30-round 5.56 NATO ammo clips.The weight and substance of the Protektor shooting bags, as well as their quality of construction and materials used, and their overall appearance was head and shoulders above the 2nd best selection. I wound up ordering the Model #2F Small Owl Ear Front Bag, the Model #18F Pillow Bag, and the Model #16F Brick Bag on Amazon.com, to use with my shooting stand when dialing in my scope and laser sight on my M4 carbine and adjusting the iron sights and laser sights on my Beretta semiautomatic 9mm pistols and Ruger .357 Magnum revolvers. The Model #2F front bag was easy to solidly attach to my shooting rest with a length of paracord, and the Model #18F and #16F bags simply rest on the top of the shooting rest's frame, below the front bag, when firing my handguns. I also cut a length of spun fiberglass material I cut out from a welding blanket, then folded over and stitched down the raw, cut edges of the fiberglass cloth, to keep it from raveling and falling apart, to make a strong, durable, but lightweight protective cover to spread over my three leather shooting bags and my shooting rest's powder-coated steel frame to protect them from the powerful blasts of hot gasses and particles of burning gun powder escaping at the cylinder gap between the front of the cylinder and the forcing cone of my Ruger .357 Magnum revolvers when I'm shooting hot ammo loads in them.

Like everything that Protektor makes this owl ear front bag is a first quality, heavy duty product. I had purchased a portable height adjustablr front bag from another manufacturer (purchased here on Amazon as well). The equivalent part of this original purchase had a manufacturing defect but the rest of thee product was really well made so I wanted to keep it. What I negotiated with Amazon was that I would keep the original product if they would credit back to me the price of this Protektor product. Thiis proved to be a win-win for both amazon and for myself. I ended up with a much better top owl ear bag and they didn't have to process a return and pay for shipping.This owl ear front bag looks to be virtually indestructible. It is heavy and it's mad here in the U.S.A. out of top notch leather. From what I can tell this thing might start showing some slight signs of wear in another thirty or forty years. I have taken it to the range and used it with my Ruger 10/22 target riifle, two different Beretta CX4's, a PAP M92 short barrel AK-47 and a Browning Buckmark Hunter pistol.. It worked well and was rock solid wiith this variety of long guns and a pistol. In short this is a terrificly well made product which you will not regret purchasing.

I love Protektor bags, I have a rear bag I love and I am sure the craftsmanship of this bag is fine. The problem is the item description says "Comes filled with sand and is ready to use" and this is completely false.It is an empty bag and filling a small bag is a colossal PITA.

The rest is made of high quality leather, carefully sewn with sturdy nylon line and filled with sand. I'm guessing it will last for as long as I am able to shoot my rifles. I mounted it on a piece of wood that is a little larger than the rest and bolted that to a camera tripod I have had for a million years and don't use for photography any more. The rest does exactly what I was hoping it would do....steady my rifle by letting the rifle sink into the leather, which grabs it and holds it in place. My groupings in my bulls eye targets are much tighter than before, when I was just resting my rifles on a piece of foam, mounted on the same piece of wood. This rest is definitely worth the money!

Nice Rifle rest bag. I put it on my Rock Jr. rest. Fit perfect ! Made in USA too...

I should have purchased the narrower one, but I'm going to use it as- is for now
