Looked at several "Protektor Bag" posts and most were ten years old plus. I apologize for the repeat but this should be a quick answer.

Situation: No gun club in my area. Just out on the farm. Hope to find a club one day.
Gun: CZ 457 Varmint MTR
Front Rest: Caldwell Rock BR

Question: What Protektor Bags for FRONT and REAR?

From the posts I gather, "rabbit ears" on Rear Bag for stocks WITHOUT cheek risers. (not bunny ears).

Front bag is Owl model. So, for Front - Small or Medium Owl Model for MTR?

For Rear, I know I want with a hard bottom -- 13A or 13B for MTR? Has anyone tried this "Super Slick Silver Rabbit"? (So I don't need a dryer sheet. And I will not be shooting free recoil) Protektor Super Slick Silver Rabbit Ear Rear Shooting Rest Bag Heavy

I plan to order filled and let a little sand out unless someone with an MTR talks me into ordering "unfilled".
Also is heavy sand worth $15 more?

Thank you.

Thank you 1Rudedawg. A picture is worth a thousand words. And I will look for those Rock BR feet on the internet.
Thank you again for sharing.
No problem. The feet are M10/1.5mm threads https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08ZS75SWH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 plus these knobs https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QC2CDJ3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I may order a set of M10 feet that are a longer in threaded length as these particular ones have very little adjustment but have worked perfectly on our concrete stations.

Plus1,
I have and use both the rabbit, bunny ear Protektor bags also have a flat bag. The slick silver 13B rabbit is a very stiff bag good for shooting free recoil, all leather 13B rabbit is good for using the squeeze technique, and the bunny is well a bunny ear bag. The ears are very close together. I have and do shoot some very good groups with it using a mechanical rest or bipods.

I have four CZ 457's the VPT shoots best free recoil, I use the slick silver with that rifle. My Varmint MTR, and one in a KRG stock and an American like to be held. I use the 13B leather bag with them.

I have never used a "dry sheet" I use baby powder between the ears on both the front and rear bags.

I don't use the Caldwell much anymore I prefer F-class bipods for shooting.
