However, I use a a combination of bi-pod, sand bag, or a adjustable rest for the front and typically adjust for elevation by sliding the small bag either toward the pistol grip for more elevation or toward the rear for less. The HS stock's flat bottom prevents much elevation change. I might be shooting PD's from 100 to 500 yards.
    Learn to squeeze the rear bag, it's that simple. Set up your elevation to what you think will be your longest shot. Then, as you squeeze the rear bag (front of ears) you'll see the crosshairs drop because the stock is riding higher in the bag. How much squeeze you give it will dictate how much elevation change. You may have to play with the amount of sand in your rear bag, no biggie.
