First Ruger setup :) Should have been mine, however, Susan absconded with my scope. The thing is AWESOME to shoot, got it dialed in at 50 and then moved out to 200 fun day :) The Arken Scope is SUPER clear. Looking for recommendations for a good sandbag set up. The Bipod is an Atlas

Glad to see you're using a bag in that photo. They make a world of difference for accurate shooting.

I use Wilderness Tactical bags. I'd suggest the 5" and the 6" round versions. I switch between both depending how the range and bench is set up. Can use them in a standing position or laying down.

These guys have lots of cool stuff. Pricey but American made here in Phoenix.

I think Tab Gear also makes similar bags.

That reminds me, anyone ever use one of those brass pickup tools?
Caldwell Brass Retriever with Collapsible Design and Basket Separator for Target Shooting, Range, and Reloading https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RPAH47K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fab_moOAFb7MAFTQG
Do they work or is it a waste of money?
They work best on cement. Not so great on desert floor.

I use this mounted on a tripod. I have it close to the bench or stand near it if standing up.

You can't go wrong with TheWilderness like @DuneShoot recommended but I really like the Rifles Only rear bag. Favorite one I've used to date and they are only $25!
https://www.riflesonly.com/rifles-only-rear-bag I've used them a bunch shooting prone and from tables like the one you're shooting off of and I have no gripes or complaints.

Thank you ordered the 4 bag set, I like that they are made in the USA in one of the free states.

Oh crap, I just noticed my gun budget for the year is almost gone! Well for the past 2 years of gun savings. I budget one appraisal assignment a month to the gun budget. It looks like the vacation budget might get tapped now :)
Did a good trade this weekend, 500 rounds of bulk 230 .45 ball ammo for 700 rounds of 44 mag 240 semi jacked hp ammo

That’s a great trade. Would be years worth of 44mag since I rarely shoot that caliber
