The Protektor 7A Standard Front Bag is a wide ear-to-ear front rest designed to be combined with a model 13 or 14 Rabbit Ear or Bunny Ear rear bag to create a stable two-point bench shooting setup.
The wide front support cradles the rifle fore-end and helps maintain consistent alignment, improving shot-to-shot repeatability during zeroing and precision practice.
This model features a hard bottom base, which keeps the bag planted on smooth bench tops and mechanical front rests, reducing unwanted movement under recoil and fine adjustments. The leather construction offers durability and smooth contact with the rifle stock, while the broad front support helps control lateral movement.
Supplied unfilled, the 7A allows you to choose your preferred fill material and weight. Heavier fill gives a more planted, recoil-resistant feel, while lighter fill makes repositioning easier. When paired with a Rabbit or Bunny Ear rear bag, the 7A forms a balanced front-and-rear support system ideal for bench shooting and precision setups.
The original #7A Standard Front Bag was invented by Protektor Model's founder, Basil Tuller in 1938. Includes a hard bottom for added stability.
It Is the perfect combination for sighting in rifles or shooting ranges up to or slightly over 200 yards.
