Mike, I understand what you are saying here. But, I do think you would lose this argument at a sanctioned match. The rule book is quite specific about any addition to the forearm meant to provide a guiding means or improve the contact between the stock and the sandbag. Don't let this discourage you. Shoot the rifle without the addition to the forearm. I would get a hunter BR style front bag and use that. It will better conform to the round stock.

Just had a talk with the Eastern Region Director, he is shooting right beside me, his answer was that as long as the attachment is part of the rifle and as long as it meets weight and other rules governing a HV rifle it is legal. Now if it has groves or rails of any kind, it is not legal, that constitutes a guiding means. I know that Hart's use to sell a metal thing that bolted to the front of a stock, at the sling hole and it was legal.
Looks pretty good. From what I can tell, you may have a sled bolted to the forearm. You would need to remove that and just ride on sandbags. Otherwise good to go.
Also keep in mind that there is a weight limit of 10.5 lbs for light varmint (LV) and 13.5 lbs for the (HV). This is for the rifle and scope.
It would be great if you could make the Nationals. Tell us a bit about yourself, where do you live and a name, so we can keep track of you!
