Guest rimotu66 Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I saw these sand bags on ebay today http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Blackhawk-Sportster-Multi-Level-Sand-Bag-Shooting-Bag-Black-74SB00BK-/291483858251?hash=item43ddcab54b:g:h4sAAOSwstxVcKMT so I sent a message asking if they came pre filled and how are they joined together. Easy enough questions I thought. This is there reply: Hi Jon, It is my understanding that they do come filled and I believe that they come joined however they are designed to be changed, i.e. to be laid flat or to be stacked. Please if you have any other questions then don't hesitate to ask. Kind Regards Ben. Needless to say I will not bother ordering from them if they cannot answer simple questions about items they are selling. My reply was: Hi Ben, so really you do not know then, do you actually stock these? Ok I will look else where for some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 In fairness he did have a stab at a reply and it's less than a packet of fags delivered so it falls under the category of 'you pays your money'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromwell7 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 To be fair it looks like the seller is Edgar brothers, a large firm which also has or used to have contracts to supply kit to the MOD, so there may be several employees that answer the eBay questions and when there is 660 items being sold I imagine it's hard to keep track sometimes.

Quite right but it was an emailed question not a phone call so he could of found out before getting back to me. However I have received this email today. Hi Sir, I'm sorry if I have created any confusion. But we do have these in stock. As I mentioned they do come filled and are attached but they are designed to change their configuration - either stacked or flat. Again apologies for any ambiguity that I have caused. Kind Regards Ben Very nice of him to reply but he did not 'mention' that they come filled. Anyway as Mungler says they are cheaper then a packet of cigs so I will order a set and take my chances.

Gavin_d Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 What will you be using them for? General question not be sarcastic. I am interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rimotu66 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 What will you be using them for? General question not be sarcastic. I am interested. No sarcasm sensed I will be using them for shooting off the bonnet/tail gate of my truck, my hands are not steady enough to shoot 'free hand' any longer and the bonnet is to high for me to use a bipod as I am a short aris. Will also help with steadying then rifles for zeroing etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rimotu66 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) £4.50 postage. Correct Did you have a point to make Edited November 12, 2015 by rimotu66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billytheghillie Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 No, just pointing it out, incase you overlooked it. At that price I would expect them to be filled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Righto, well Ben has confirmed that they do come filled, I have had a email to say they have been despatched so I will update on the quality when they arrive. Update, sand bags arrived this morning so I am very impressed with there delivery service, the bags are very good quality but not very big, 6 1/2" wide and each roll approx. 2 1/2" dia, the top roll is more triangular shape with nice soft leather section for the rifle to sit on. Should be ideal for shooting off the bonnet. Edited November 13, 2015 by rimotu66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennett Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Just had a look at the picture, I have the same ones and can't fault them. They come filled and seem very strong and well put together. They stack up and velcro together to make solid rest, or unfolded can be draped over a door or wing mirror etc. Use mine to rest my hmr butt on the door top for long range/zeroing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
