The Protektor Model #8 Sausage Front Bag is a versatile front support designed for use with mechanical rests, offering a simple, adaptable platform that suits a wide range of rifle forends.
Unlike fixed ear bags, the sausage design allows you to adjust the shape by varying the fill, creating a central channel that naturally supports the rifle. This makes it especially useful when switching between different stock shapes or when a more flexible support is preferred.
Constructed from top grain leather, it provides excellent durability and grip on the rest. Supplied unfilled, allowing you to customise weight, firmness and shape to suit your setup.
Best suited for:
- Bench shooting and zeroing
- Mechanical front rest setups
- Shooters using multiple rifles with different forends
- Those wanting a more adaptable front support
Positioning:
- More flexible than owl ear bags
- Works across both narrow and wider stocks
- Ideal when you don’t want a fixed channel width
