elbow padding shooting prone

I have seen them and you can still buy them as shooting jackets but for Service rifle you are allowed to rest your mag on the ground so there shouldn't be a lot of need for padded elbows.Try here.

How about a motorcycle jacket with armor in it? Mine has armor in the elbows, shoulders, and back. Very comfortable.
I like something under my elbows. Sticking my funny bone into the ground is not my idea of fun. Especially when there is ice/snow on the firing line, or there is hard gravel. If you guys don't need pads to shoot accurately, you are stronger willed then me.
Usually it is cold enough in the mountains to use some sort of a jacket. And that is enough. For warm days, I have used a bdu with sleeping pad foam stitched in.

If you don't mind the pads on your shirt instead, 5.11 Tactical has an option on all of thier BDU's for a slip-in elbow or knee pad. They come in a pretty wide range of colours too, so it doesn't have to look like you're wearing a uniform. Add your favorite jacket for cool weather, and you will have a pretty cushy setup for your funniest bones.

Why not just wear elbow pads? That skateboarder stuff looks a little far out. I didn't look at the dead hotlinks, but One Shot Tactical, and Dave's Surplus and Tactical both sell Alta knee and elbow pads for next to nothing. I just got some Hatch ones locally, used them on a coarse, and I'll never go to the ground without them again! Unless of course, I really need to and I'm not wearing them. These items are definitely worth 20-30 bucks each, top and bottom. That's my opinion. Who am I? The comfortable guy without cut up and bruised knees and elbows. No distractions.
You could also try to find the old USMC shooting jacket. Basically just a heavy weight shirt with sewn on elbow pads and a shoulder pocket pad. Similar to the heavy shooting jacket that Longshot linked to but not a) as thick, b) as hot, or c) as restrictive, (just a button up shirt, no straps). Much more suitable for service rifle than the heavy NRA high power shooting jackets.
Unfortunately, I don't know where to get one around here (and I am looking for one myself). Fred of FredsM14stocks carries them, but I understand he won't ship anything to Canada anymore after being officially warned about M-14 stocks, which is mostly what he sells.
