Gonna give this a go.

The Endgame, the ultimate adjustable competition rear bag

By May of 2024 I had made over 1500 Airfoil bags and everyone loved them, and to me that was a bad thing. It took that long to get enough feedback on how to make it better, to come up with the ultimate version, the ultimate adjustable precision shooting rear bag. Everyone said the Airfoil was...

I get tired of stacking shims under rear bags, stacking smaller rear bags on larger rear bags to get the "right height", squeezing rear bags to adjust height, and when the bag/s settle, sometimes redoing it all again. I can't believe what a hassle it's been over the years to get a rear bag settled "just right" when in changing scenarios. Every gun chassis or stock of mine has different dimensions, have 4 different bipods, so it seems most of the time "things" could definitely be better!

This is of course when I'm not going into full benchrest mode by using my PQP one piece, or Farley joy stick.

Not very expensive either.

Not very expensive? That thing is $170. Pretty much just a blood pressure pump lol. If someone really want to they can just buy a blood pressure pump for $20 and do a cheap modification to make it work as a rear rest.

I use one of these adjustable lab jacks, you can add a bag if you want, just use velcro or strap it down, very sturdy with some weight. I also installed silicone feet.

Or a cheap lab jack off Amazon. Add a little padding on top. Good to go.

Ryan has other pump bags that are cheaper but I want this one. I don't know the guy and ran across a suggestion for a rear bag on another forum for ELR. He gets good reviews on his products.

I guess it comes down to how handy a person is, what they think is expensive or not, and how much they want a professional grade high quality product or not.
You can probably guess how I am then - not handy - $169 is 4 meals eating at a decent restaurant for my wife and I , - and I like higher quality products anyway. So I gladly pay innovators and inventors for nice stuff that works well.

The opposite for me is when I've bought low quality poorly made products to save a few bucks which is often disappointing in various ways and then I'm pissed at myself that I cheaped out to begin with.

If someone is happy with whatever they've bought for less, or made themselves, then more power to yuh, good for you.
Shambozzie that little Jack looks like it could work well. Seems I read here on AN that there were some little Jacks like that of low quality that wiggled and some that looked identical to it from other Co's that didn't have loose tolerances???, but I imagine there are even better quailty ones out there too. Edit - Same comment to Ranchibi.

I've got sand bags that my wife made which were free, and leak sand lol, and 3 nice tactical bags of different sizes, with different fillers in them, that I bought for NRL22 and long range centerfire, and well you read my initial post already, so here we are.

Love it thanks… Will be getting a pair for my tool kit. I work in a wood shop and these would save my ass in many instances… Thank you.

Man I thought somebody stole it out of my mailbox or it got lost in the mail. I was sweating it big time! The shipping label was made on the 18th and shipped out the next day. Then next thing I know I get a USPS notice on the 23rd that it was in town but "undeliverable". What?? NO that's a BS lie which of course pissed me off. Then I get another notice that it'll be delivered the next day which was also a lie. USPS = over promise and under deliver!

I got a email stating it was delivered today, the 29th, which is odd because it's Sunday?! I went down to the mailbox and it had arrived FINALLY 11 days later. Remind me not to order stuff this close to Christmas and I should have requested UPS who are fast and reliable "where I live".

Anyway, WOW this thing is, nice, and steady, and VERY convenient. It's 15-20 mph so I didn't do any shooting but just trying it out down prone I could hold on things the size of the crosshair with no fiddle farting around.
Plop down, get bipod reasonably close, pump the Endgame to POI, and the center dot in my scope sits there with no drama. Plus I wasn't muscling or moving the bag around like what I'm used to having to do. Without even firing a shot it's doing exactly what I had hoped for.

Later on in the week I'll comment more than just my initial impressions but so far so good and it is seems impressively stable.

Today was a little nicer with probably 8 mph average winds. I was just experimenting with the Endgame before it got too windy. I shot my Uragan King 25 cal using 29gr NSA slugs at 50Y in two different locations, two different positions, and two different wind directions.

First I got down prone off the Endgame. Because it's flat and straight down my road it was easy to get the gun and bag just right. It has some kind of filler in it, likely heavy sand perhaps??, so it does settle a tad after a while like one would expect, but a few pumps, or releasing air if I overfill, gets the crosshairs back on quickly and easily. I liked it! The only problem is my neck is out of shape for laying on the ground looking through a scope so I need to do this more often. I prefer to shoot my long range centerfires laying on the ground and this will work awesome for that. I can't wait to try it!
Here's those groups and by the last group, low right, I was getting more proficient using the Endgame.

Next I went up on the hill shooting on my bench at 90 degrees from the last location. At 50Y in this location it's downhill at 6-7 degrees. Since my bipod will only go so low I had to put a flat brick under the Endgame to get the angle I needed to be in line with the target. This is a little inconvenient but it was the best location I could put this bench because of neighbors, etc. I need to get a taller seat as well because the bench sits too high for me. I got somewhat comfortable then I found the Endgame once again very enjoyable to use. However I shot worse than I did down prone until.......

Here's the cool thing, and something that I hadn't considered before I bought the Endgame. Because I have so much more control of the gun in the vertical, vs a regular rear bag/s, I found a better way to hold the rifle that resulted in this 10 shot group! One went low but 9 are into .7" wide and .25 tall. The top of a hole had hit high from a group lower on the card which is at the very bottom of the photo. Also the wind had picked up being full value sideways at 10 mph or so.
That's the best this gun has shot and now I know how to hold it next time. I seriously doubt I would have discovered this particular way of reducing torque had I kept using my old bags.

There isn't much more to say but I feel this was some well spent money on a well made product.

Trying the Endgame yesterday I hit our 2'x2.5' steel at 1143Y on the coldbore, and also the 2nd shot, this using my 6.5 Saum precision rifle. I stopped and let others try but they weren't used to the gun or the Endgame bag. Lol, I tried to show then how to use the bag with pump and air release valve but it was information overload and between everything combined was all too much for them. They tried to manipulate it like a normal bag resulting in a juggling act of which way to turn it to get situated right and where for and aft to move the gun for proper alignment in the vertical. For me this was interesting to watch.

As well hit our steel 125Y Trex, and 150Y Crow, one try on each, as did an acquaintance who hadn't shot my Vulcan 3 before. Then kept going out to 191Y, 250Y, and 300Y, successfully hitting them though to just not on the first shot. Sure is nice getting the reticle exactly where I want without the hassle I've previously had.

Basically it comes down to having "consistency" in how the gun sits, by allowing holding the gun the same every time, translating directly to more control from shot to shot, which is vastly easier to do now than before.

Totally sold on this Endgame and I highly recommend it!

I don't mean to come off snotty but I'm so glad I spent the money on this particualr bag!

Some of my other sand bags I don't need to keep in my gun gear tote anymore so that'll simplify things as well which means dragging less stuff around and thus weighing less.

 

[steve123]

Looky here, ha and I thought I was the only guy in the airgun world using these.

 

[Dewy]

Looks like a sweet set up. Might have to try one out.

It's been cold and windy lately, 4 degrees low a few day ago, so I haven't been shooting much. I'll be using the new rear rest to test my newly rebuilt FX Royale as soon as I get a good day again. I typically only use the gun with a Harris bipod via the bipod stud. For once with this Royale I'll be able to tune with higher capability than previously due to a more consistent hold than before by using THE Endgame, YAY!!!
