SSS stock are set up to work with about any bag.
Protektor bags work well. I prefer a rabbit ear bag, some like bunny ears, it is a personal preference.

I have an LVT with another on the way. Note that the bottom of the buttstock is almost a half-round and therefore quite wide compared with other stocks where the bottom is more "V" in profile with a 1/2" or narrower flat at the very bottom. If you have a Magpul PRS the bottom profile is very similar, but even wider.

I have a Protektor bag with double stitching between the ears and it's still too narrow for my tastes. Will upgrade soon to a bag with triple stitching.

Another item you may want to take a look at is a rear bag stablizer, Edgewood "dead Bottom" of a Skip Otto (RIP). A lot of rear bags have a tendency to rock especially if you like to shot them packed hard and /or on less then flat benches The dead bottom ( or Otto Stabilizer) is like a donut and allows only the outside bottom edges of the bag to make contact, not the middle. It makes a rear bag rock steady and solid. They're especially good if you use different bags, rabbit, bunny and etc.

Give it 2 or 3 soaking coats of spray sizing (not starch! ) ,allow it to dry then fill it about 3/4 or so full.
