The Protektor Model #3C Cordura Wide Owl Ear Front Bag is designed for shooters using wider, flat forends, delivering stable front support with smooth recoil tracking when paired with a mechanical rest.
The wide owl ear profile provides increased spacing to properly support larger rifle stocks, typically around 3" wide, offering improved contact and consistency compared to narrower bags.
This Cordura version features a low-friction top surface, allowing the rifle to move more freely under recoil for better tracking and repeatability. A suede leather base helps keep the bag planted on the rest, with tie-down tabs for added stability.
Supplied unfilled, allowing full control over weight and firmness.
Best suited for:
- Bench shooting and zeroing
- Mechanical front rest setups
- Varmint / wide forend rifles
- Shooters wanting maximum contact and stability at the front
Positioning relative to other bags:
- Designed specifically for flat-bottom stocks
- Offers more support than #1 and #2
