does any one use something like pictured in the link above ? I though about sewing up something like this only with out the muzzle cover thing, i was mainly going to use it to carry the rifle around from range to car and car to range.

also what sort of features ( for those of you that use these )
do you wish it had ? ex: small pocket for pen/pencil or place on the out side to hold 5 rounds or what ever.

Re: rifle scope covery

The Blackhawk doesn't fit too well with a sunshade attached to the scope so you might consider making it a little longer than theirs.

Id keep the crown cover, add a heavy duty handle and buckles, and add some molle on it.

Are you going to need the ghillie cover to go with the suit when you walk from the car to the range?

Here's a question: "who in the real world has a need for those monstrosities?" These covers are examples of over-engineering taken to the seriously stupid level. If you want a cover like this, just put your rifle in a case.....geez.

Really? you dont think that if you were hiking up the side of a mountain or going through thick brush (hunting for example) with your rifle strapped to your back you'd want one of these to protect your scope and crown?
To each his own I guess.

I just finished hiking up more than a few mountains and hills this past week while hunting with a pack and rifle. The last thing I want is more weight and bulk. People who actually hike up mountains a lot carry less, not more: certainly not this useless garbage. Also, when busting the desert brush(where everything has a thorn or sticker), my rifle is in front of me, not on my back....

Re: rifle scope covery

If you want something to cover your scope but not the muzzle, then I would suggest looking at a scopecoat.

http://www.scopecoat.com/

A lot less bulk, easier to put on and take off, and faster.

If you want something it protect both your scope and muzzle, I would suggest looking at TAB gear rifle cover. Not much bigger than muzzle and scope cover, and protects your entire rifle.

Re: rifle scope covery

I swear, one of my priorities has got to get some much better pictures up on the site of our rifle cover. That one picture just doesn't do it any justice at all.

Re: rifle scope covery

My rifle spends the majority of it's time in the back of an Expedition pinned between the tailgate and a 300lb steel box with the rest of my gear in it. It's in the pack but I like having a little extra padding around it.

I'm with you!
After spending the amount we do on optics I try to take care of something that is a key component of the system that can be screwed up relatively easy imo.

Re: rifle scope covery

Stu from RedTac Gear made me a couple of these padded covers a few years ago. They are simply outstanding, and give the scope that little extra protection when the rifle is in the drag bag in car trunk, or back of a truck.. Highly recommended for times you aren't using the pelican case..

Here's another.
Seriously, this is the basic non-custom cover, and it's perfect.

And while we're at it, the Elite Biathlon Sling.

Re: rifle scope covery

That TAB one looks like the ticket if you're rifle is going to be sitting out in inclement weather on the line during training.
