Fieldcraft Scope Cover I Made

[_Shay_]

I've always wanted one of those muzzle/scope covers, so I made one.

I made it out of some khaki cordura I had left over from a ghillie, some coyote nylon webbing and some fastex buckles.

looks like it exploded on your floor first. End result does look good.

Re: Scope Cover I Made

Yeah, my floor is a mess, I had been making a few ghillies, and burlap remnants get everywhere.

Re: Scope Cover I Made

do they get hearing loss?

Re: Scope Cover I Made

My rifle is young, still a .22lr, so he is prone to hearing loss with long stretches of shooting without protection.

Looks nice. Does the muzzle cover have padding or is it just a sewn sleeve?

TIA

Re: Scope Cover I Made

It is just a sewn sleeve of cordura.

Second one looks much better but I have just a suggestion but is up to you. It would be much stronger if you box stitch the handles and strong points of the webbing. Bartack stitch is not sufficient for long term durability where on handles and buckle connections. Also if you box stitch the ends of webbing to keep from fraying it looks more clean and professional than a fold with single stitch. Just some stuff I picked up along the way.

I am sure you know what a box stitch is but for instance and this is a bad example but its the only good picture of my work you can see a box stitch.

Box stitched on the harness cross pieces as well on the 2" buckle, and on all the connecting straps that run under the molle webbing.

Re: Scope Cover I Made

take a suggestion from a ex-parachute rigger that has had a fair amount of needle time........make a carry handle for that thing.

Re: Scope Cover I Made

_Shay_ that looks horrible. Please take that off your rifle and send it to me so that I can dispose of it immediately.

Good job Shay. Are you going to sell these?

Re: Scope Cover I Made

Shay, I don't think McD's will have you for long if you keep coming up with stuff like this. Keep up the good work.

Re: Scope Cover I Made

There's another I made... No webbing on the sides... I find it very useless... No pics of it on a rifle yet... currently do'nt have a scope... but that's been taken care of.
