Ideal rear support for bench shooting, zeroing and precision setups
The Protektor 13 Rabbit Ear Rear Bag is a premium leather rear support bag designed to provide stable, repeatable rear support for rifles and airguns during bench shooting, zeroing and precision practice.
Leather rear bag with dual “rabbit ear” wings for stable, repeatable rear support
Supplied unfilled so you can tune weight and firmness to your shooting style
Please Note - This bag is delivered unfilled.
The original #13 Rabbit Ear Rear Bag was invented by Protektor Model founder Basil Tuller in 1938. This bag is approx. 2-1/2" H to the bottom of the ears then tapers downward slightly toward the eagle. Each ear is approx. 2-5/8" tall and has a single stitch sewed in between them.
We recommend using this style ear with most common hunting stocks used today. The taller rabbit ears allow shooters to use the squeeze technique to adjust elevation while shooting and minimise side-to-side torque, helping you maintain a consistent cheek weld and better shot placement across multiple rounds.
This is a versatile high quality top grain leather rear bag and is recommended for shooting a wide range of distances. The base size measures 5" W x 6 3/4" L.

Q: Is this rear bag supplied filled or empty?
It is supplied unfilled, allowing you to choose your preferred fill material and weight to suit your shooting style and setup.
Q: What fill material should I use?
Common options include sand, plastic media or other dry fill materials. The choice depends on whether you prefer a lighter, more portable bag or a heavier, more stable rest.
Q: What is the benefit of leather compared to fabric bags?
Leather offers greater durability and abrasion resistance, and provides smooth contact with the rifle stock, helping the bag maintain its shape over time.
Q: What is a rear bag used for?
A rear bag supports the stock of the rifle or airgun, helping stabilise the setup and reduce movement during aiming and firing — ideal for bench shooting and zeroing.
Q: Why are these called “rabbit ear” bags?
The two raised wings resemble rabbit ears and help cradle the stock, reducing roll and keeping the rifle aligned shot-to-shot.
Q: Can this be used with a bipod?
Yes — rear bags pair perfectly with front bipods or rests to create a stable two-point support system.
Q: Is this suitable for airguns as well as rifles?
Yes — it works well with both rifles and airguns for bench and range shooting setups.
