I bought a bald eagle rest and 3 in. bag. The bag is to wide for my 64 Annie. I added a peace of 1/2 inch plastic 3in wide to front rail on on rifle, fits snug. ? Is how tight do I tighten the front bag ears. Mike
While my above post was meant to get a slight chuckle it is essentially true.
I would say that nobody has the rifles held "tight" in the front rest. They are all allowed to recoil to some extent.
I don't know how to gauge it other than resistance & that is what you'll need to experiment with.
I personally only want the bag to guide the rifle so it only barely touches it. And I mean barely. I like free recoil 99.9% of the time.
Other things you may want to try is the positioning of both a front stop for the fore end & the placement fore & aft with the rear bag. These two things will effect accuracy as well.
Another thing you may try is free recoil vs. applying slight pressure somewhere to the rifle. I use to think just allowing my shoulder to touch the butt made a rifle shoot better. It was still allowed to free recoil, just not as much. I've seen people put their thumb on the back of the trigger guard too. I like it better.
As was said before its all trial & error and what you & the rifle are getting the most consistent results with.
Good Luck,
Keith

I have the nylon top. I added a 3in. Plastic piece to ass. Rail on my annie helps a lot keeping it centered My rear bag is protector with the slick top. Now all I need to do is practice practice practice and more practice. Mike
