Help me choose

[gregr]

I need to get something to assist with sighting in long arms, and believe I`ve narrowed it down to one of two options. Has anyone used either one of these? Know anyone who has? Used anything similar? Which one would you choose?


Caldwell® Tack Driver® Shooting Rest : Cabela's



Champion® Shooter's Ridge Gorilla Shooting Bag : Cabela's


Why would you pick whichever you would pick?

For sighting in, I have a cheap shooting rest that a friend gave me. It's fully adjustable, which works out great for SBRs and the big guns.

I use to use a Cladwell lead sled, but sold it as it was just to bulky to lug back to the range. It did however work very well. Anymore I just use the bipod and rear bag..

I use bipods on about anything with magnified optics, but I tried out that rest, which is made of plastic, and weighs nothing. I brought it to fine tune the Aimpoint on the SBR, but it worked out great for the thermal scoped one also.

I usually sight in with just a bipod. Only reason is i figure if im using the rifle for hunting or shtf, im not gonna be using a rest that locks the rifle in place. I could be wrong but to me it sights the rifle in to me as the shooter, with whatever inconsistencies i have when shooting. I figure if i can manage 3" groups at 100 to 200 yards, i can kill what im shooting at. Im definitely not a precision shooter but i dont shoot for competition, mostly deer.

My 1st Appleseed years and years ago I asked Yellowhousejake about bringing a rest to zero in rifles for class. He told me to leave it at home. You won't need it he said. I was puzzled at first but after attending that class and several more after that I realized he was right. I don't need a fancy rest to get a zero good out well past a 1/4 mile. All it takes is solid fundamentals, a sling and the ground.
