ARCA Bag Plate

[Burdy]

Just put together a 5.56 AR-15 platform for varmint hunting and I used a full length ARCA handguard. My question is, out of all the available options out there for ARCA bag plates, which one makes the most sense for this use case:

• Not so large and heavy that it can't be easily fielded
• Easy to adjust in the dark
• Quick adjustment
• Quiet adjustment/operation
• Low snag
• Can be used with various style bags and fills (Or is there one that seems perfect as is?)
• I am OK with buy once cry once but I also am ok with finding the point of diminishing returns. Either/or is gtg

I use a Area 419 bag plate for shooting NRL 22 with a Cole dbag and I like it for shooting off ladders/ barricades.
For varmint hunting I just use a tripod clamped to the ARCA it works standing ,seating or kneeling if need be .

I've got the tripods covered. I'll probably use a combination of the two. Area419 seems pretty popular. I'm wondering if some of the plates with accept RRS release style clamps.

Been looking at that one. The mini. I actually wish it was even smaller though.

I settled on a coletac backbone with flat bag. After having and trying a number, it served the purposes I wanted and is not obnoxiously heavy and packs pretty easily

I ended up with the precision underground recon micro+rail base. I really needed as small/light as possible. I will let you know what I think when it arrives unless you have already had experience with that one.

I've not played with it. Looks promising.

That’s probably the best bet for what you are looking for.
