A couple of things that I watch:: Make sure the sling stud sits far enough forward of the saddle on the front rest to insure it does not make contact (touching typically induces stringing high). And, that the rear sling stud is not resting on the rear bag...so there needs to be enough “drop” behind the ears.
When choosing a rear bag I want one with short bunny ears because the tall ears sometimes contact sporter stocks with cheek pieces....which pushes the stock to one side as it slides back. Or just choose a stock with no cheekpiece.
Another feature I look for in a rear bag is one that has a good lenth-to-height ratio. If they are short back-to-front...and tall...they tend to “rock” back as the rifle recoils. Rocking is not good
