I recently bought this cast aluminum Remington rifle rest at Turner's, and I liked it pretty well once I cleaned up the threads. The Chinese do not understand the concept of lead-in on threads.
Also I didn't like the little fake Cordura nylon and Cheapo leatherette sandbag they give you. It is super thin and filled with some lightweight plastic bits.
I made a new one from suede leather and I stuffed it with very small aquarium gravel about the size of a split pea.
I managed to, with enormous care, sew this up on my wife's little plastic dress making machine.
I'm really proud of myself because I didn't bend any needles or break any, but I went very slowly.
I double-stitched everything and then I filled it and sewed up the last corner by hand.
The bottom is larger than the bag by about a half inch in the front and back. There I punched the bottom edges with a conductors punch and laced it together with paracord.
I burned the ends with a match and glued the knot with Krazy Glue .
Here it is compared to the crummy little Remington bag which will probably just go in the trash.
If the weather's not too cold I may get it out to the range tomorrow, for its first field test. I got about 10 pounds of newly reloaded ammunition I want to test out.
