Protektor 1BB Small Owl Ear Front Bag – Bumble Bee Leather Front Shooting Rest
Designed for use on mechanical front rests – compact owl ear front bag
Please Note - This bag is delivered unfilled.
The Protektor 1BB Small Owl Ear Front Bag is designed specifically for use on a mechanical front rest, where precise fit and consistent stock support are critical. Its compact footprint and owl ear profile are sized to sit securely in the cradle of mechanical bench rests, providing controlled fore-end support for zeroing and precision shooting.
The bag is made from Bumble Bee leather — Protektor’s premium leather finish selected for durability, abrasion resistance and smooth stock contact. Compared to standard leather finishes, Bumble Bee leather resists scuffing and wear from repeated bench use and helps the bag maintain its shape over time.
Supplied unfilled, the 1BB lets you choose regular or heavy sand to tune the bag’s weight and firmness. Lighter fill makes fine adjustments easier on a mechanical rest, while heavier fill gives a more planted, recoil-resistant support surface. This makes the 1BB ideal for controlled bench shooting, load development and precision zeroing when used with a proper front rest.
This bag was designed to use most common hunting rifle stocks used today.
