Bag gun to rail gun

Around the turn of the century, I saw a bag gun that was used as a rail gun with an attachment on the front of the stock (or maybe it was attached to the barrel), and a buttplate that formed the guiding means of a rail gun. The front rest as I remember was a standard unit minus the bag and the rear was a custom made unit with the adjustments built in. The attachments could be removed and the rifle was again a sporter. Anyone know about this setup, pros and cons? and how it was built?

See them for sale all the time....two or three at this years supershoot....old school but pretty cool. The 1000yd heavy gunners have it down pat now and would look at their setups and stocks.....even for short range if that's what you want. I've seen ten shots fired at 1000yds without an adjustment by the shooter.....whether it needed one or not is another question. I haven't shot the setup like that.

Bryan, the only rifles I've seen like this were in 1000 yard type stocks instead of varmint class stocks. Lee Six used to make a stock that was pretty popular for this type of application with a 5" wide forend and a pretty heavy stock as it was solid fiberglass fill. Don Nielson was shooting a similar stock and rail setup a few years back at one of the nationals.

In 100-200-300 yard Benchrest, there isn't an actual "Rail Gun Class". The class is Unrestricted, or Unlimited.

The rules say 'a safely operated firearm with at least an 18 inch barrel'. The modern "Return to battery Rifle" (that is what the true definition of a Rail Gin is), is a product of these rules.

That is pretty wide open..........jackie
