Taking my two adult sons to the range, after the visit I had to replace the bags on both my Lead Sled, and my Rock Junior rest. I would like to point out. I had had these things for several years, and never had considered replacing parts. Kids. I was pleased to find them available at OpticsPlanet. Have since installed on both rests, and I am totally satisfied. Thank you, Caldwell/OpticsPlanet.

have yet to find a bad Caldwell product, some better than others, but all good. This was a replacement for my lead sled. Had not shot my Blackhawk Max. in several years, forgot bout the cylinder flash. Yea, they are not fire proof.
Pros:
- Price, rugged design
- Works great for intended purpose
Would recommend: Yes

These Caldwell bags are simple and effective. You could spend a lot more money and/or do a lot worse than these. I've read some reviews complaining that the bags come apart at the seams, which seems possible as the bags come over-filled to the point where they are almost bursting apart. What I did was just let out some of the filler so that the bag had more give and sat better in the rest. If you're just using the bag for the purpose it was designed for-range/bench use-then I don't see durability being too much of an issue. The gun stock sits in the bag, it should slide back and forth, and that's it. there is no need to touch the bag very much or throw it around like a bean bag. It should last, and so far I'm pleased with it.
Pros: affordable, easy to use, well-shaped
Cons: potential durability concerns
Would recommend: Yes

I bought this bag for rimfire benchrest shooting at local clubs. It has done its job well. Have used several others since then and have seen no appreciable difference at my local club level. I am sure more experience shooters would tell you their better bags out their, but for my shooting this is great and priced right.
Pros: Well made
Cons: None found
Would recommend: Yes

All in all this is a great front bag. I paired it witht the Rock Jr. rest. It fits my old Savage Model 5 like it was made for it. It also works well with my HK SL8-6. It is a tad too narrow for it, but still provides a firm platform to shoot from. The only real downside of this bag as well as all the other front bags from Caldwell is that the velcro straps are not really secure and leave a little bit of play in the bag. I solved the problem with a nylon keeper from an old pitol belt and that worked fine. BY THE WAY IF YOU BOUGHT THE ROCK JR. REST IT COMES WITH THIS BAG DESPITE PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS TO THE CONTRARY.
Pros: Great size for most rifles
Cons: Needs more secure strap downs
Would recommend: Yes
