Game Changer v. SH Medium Game Changer Bag

What is your intended purpose for the bag?

Not having seen either in the flesh, I am looking at buying one or the other but do not understand why someone would pick one over the other. Can you give me the pros and cons of each, or some other comparison?

I have a nylon Gamechanger and a waxed canvas Shmedium bag, and a few others as well. But after 4 years, I have found the Shmedium to be the most versatile and useful. Remove 1.5 cups of the sand fill, since it has a spout. I have found that to provide the best overall performance, from cattle gates, to rocks to rear bag use.

Jestor, I have not been to a precision rimfire match yet but am wondering which one might be better for dual use with that type of shooting and also as a rear bag for prone and bench long range rimfire shooting off a bipod. So, it would see a lot of use as a rear bag.

I do both, have tried both and the Schmedium is the way to go. I have the black waxed canvas and it is perfect for barricade work. I used it this past weekend as a rear bag getting good dope to 500 with my .300 Win Mag and was able to.print 1/2 to 3/4 moa at that distance. Rifle was solid as a rock with the Schmedium in the rear and a bipod out front.

I have OG, Pint Sized, and Schmedium GameChangers, I use the Schmedium the most. I could make use of any of the 3 as my only bag for matches, but the Schmedium fits into AND fills more opportunities and offers a more manageable size for rear bag use than the other two sizes. Kinda makes sense - they made the bigger version first, shooters asked for a smaller version, which we found a little too small, so they brought out the Schmedium… kinda like Goldilocks - we took a few tries to finally find the one that is just right.

Wiebad Tater Tot might be a better opportunity, since it does open differently and can create very solid interface between rifle and support.

My only GameChanger experience is with the waxed Schmedium, but it has replaced all my other bags with exception of my big pillow. The Schmedium just fits every prop and problem that has been tossed at me.

Size preference really. I have the mini in waxed canvas with a heavy fill and seems to fit my needs so far. The large one would be a lot more for me to have to deal with (just extra weight to haul.) Another thing to consider is the bag fills. I like the heavy, it's kid of like wet sand to me. There's some movement, but it's not going anywhere once smacked down. Now a light fill on the other hand, it like a bag of little plastic marbles, little weight, easy to adjust, but will shift more. If if you want to use it like a sand sock for the back, perhaps the light fill will fit your needs.

smedium heavy fill works great for me.

When nearly the entire squad is primarily using schmedium heavy fills... that should tell you something! Though I could see having the smallest size w/ light fill for field applications to compliment or serve as a secondary. Being able to adust the schmedium fill amount is very nice customizing feature.
