Description
The Real Avid Ratchet Rest Rear (Small) takes the one job a rear bag has always done and makes it adjustable. Instead of squeezing, folding, or stacking material under a traditional bag to get the height you want, this one has a ratcheting mechanism built right into the core. Compress it and it clicks down in precise increments, so you can fine-tune your buttstock height and cant without lifting your cheek off the rifle. It covers a height range of 2.5 to 3.75 inches, which is the sweet spot for the small elevation corrections that matter most at distance.
What Sets the Ratchet Rest Small Apart
The Accu-Click system is the whole story here. It gives you one-handed, click-by-click elevation changes that lock in place, so there is no sag or settling while you break the shot. That means your point of aim stays where you put it, which is exactly what you want when you are chasing a repeatable zero or working through a load development session. Since it holds its setting mechanically rather than relying on how hard you grip a bag, your corrections stay consistent from one string to the next.
Build Quality on the Ratchet Rest Rear Bag
Real Avid didn't cut corners on the construction. The outer shell is heavy-duty waxed canvas that grips the stock without excessive friction and shrugs off water and abrasion. A rubberized non-slip base keeps the bag planted on benches, mats, tailgates, and natural surfaces under recoil, and heat-resistant stitching stands up to muzzle blast. Inside, the moisture-resistant poly bead fill holds its shape without hardening, settling, or attracting rodents, so there's none of the mess you get with sand or corn fill. A sewn-on carry strap handles transport and can be positioned to cradle the buttplate to cut down on movement.
At right around two pounds, it's light enough to toss in a range bag and pairs naturally with the larger front rest for a full front-and-rear setup. For precision rifle practice, zeroing, bench work, and competition, it's a smart upgrade over a standard squeeze bag.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Ratchet Rest rear bag adjust height?
It uses Real Avid's Accu-Click ratcheting system built into the core of the bag. You compress it and it clicks down in precise increments, and it locks the setting in place. That lets you make one-handed elevation changes across a 2.5 to 3.75 inch range without breaking your shooting position or squeezing a traditional bag.
What is the Ratchet Rest Small filled with?
It's filled with moisture-resistant poly beads rather than sand or corn. The beads hold their shape over time without settling, hardening, or attracting rodents, and they won't mildew or rot. That keeps your support consistent shot after shot and makes it fine for both indoor range use and extended time in the field.
Can I use the Small rest as a front bag?
The Small is purpose-built as a rear bag to support the rifle's buttstock and dial in fine elevation and cant. For front fore-end support you'd want the Large Front Rest, and the Medium can play either role. Pairing the Small rear with a front rest gives you a complete adjustable front-and-rear setup.
Will the Ratchet Rest stay put under recoil?
Yes. The rubberized non-slip base grips benches, mats, and natural surfaces to resist shifting when the rifle recoils. The carry strap on top can also be positioned to cradle the buttplate, which helps minimize movement and keeps you returning to the same position.
