furrybean Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Does anyone use them? Im wanting to protect my new scope in the cabinet and was looking for scope covers and saw the rifle sock. Do they attract moisture and make the rifle "sweat" or are they any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuggy Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 These are what I use. Relatively inexpensive and treated with silicone lubricant. They won't attract moisture as long as you prevent your safe from forming a dew point. There was a thread about that not so long ago. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Remington-Silicone-Treated-Gun-Sock-52-Rifle-Shotgun-Shooting-Oil-Air-Bag-Slip-/381116506333?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item58bc5060dd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuggy Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 I would say so, as they have quite a bit of stretch, but it would depend on the height of the stock. For example, they are probably too small for an AICS plus 5-25 PMII. For the bigger stuff there is another brand, 'Bore Stores' which come in a range of sizes. But they are a bit more expensive. I think that March UK stock these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montey Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 I've got one from Dolphin Guns its very good, I use it to put any rifle scope combo in it after shooting in the rain, it takes the moister out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

furrybean Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I will. I looked online and they are a quarter of the price in the US. Such is life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradders Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I have some like these http://www.cabelas.com/product/Cabelas-Tactical-AR-Knit-Gun-Socks/1325348.uts They will take an AR type rifle with pistol and scope and still have plenty of room. I'm sure you can get some of you look around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 I will. I looked online and they are a quarter of the price in the US. Such is life! Can you show a link as I'm off to the US soon, seen them at just over 1/2 price size for size but never less than $10? The stretchy ones are OK, but personally I'd not want to use them on a regular basis, if planning to use as a permanent method of storage on a used rifle then IMHO the Bore Stores are better.

furrybean Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Let us know what you think of it when it arrives. Very impressed with the bore store. Loads of room and great for peace of mind putting the rifles in and out of the cabinet. I left the rifle in it when I put it in the drag bag for the range too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
