"Gun Tent" Rifle Cover Sources?

Had one made at a local auto upholstery shop for my F/TR gun 25.00!
 
The original "Gun Tent was sold by Benchrite, now PMA. Pat Reagin at PMA says "We are hoping to have those back by Spring for the next shooting season!"

They’re back and they’re every bit as good as the tents Gammon made for Benchrite. I bought one.
 
Someone here had them for sale in the classifieds. He made them and sold quite a few some years back. Here's a picture and the label guessing it's his personal email.

I’ve been making and selling a gun tent (along with stock boot) for several years. I sell them at Benchrest matches that I attended. The tent is made with water repellent marine vivyl on the outside and quilted cotton on the inside. They are nearly identical to those made in the past by the late Bill Gammon. The tent is $35, and the boot is $20.

Nice. How long of a rifle can it fit and how much would you charge including shipping?

The tents are 47”x8”. I can ship them, but I’ll have to get back to you on how much it will be. The cleaning boot is 14”x6” and are designed for the newer style short range Benchrest stocks that have a 3.5” long buttstock height (I can make them wider for hunting rifles, but I didn’t want to make this into a business) LOL.

Um... too late... Should have kept quiet :eek:

I'd be interested in a couple of the gun tents and a cleaning boot if you have some to spare.
So much for not making it a business.

I have plenty to sell. I need to find out how much shipping will cost. If you know anyone going to the IBS Nationals at Holton, MI in three weeks, I can work with them. Hang tight…

My wife is a seamstress and going to try her hand at it with a quilted material and a vinyl outer shell, she is making one for me and I'll post pictures and see if anyone has any interest, will be able to customize length to a degree so we will see (she monograms also).
 
I need to measure my rifles. I think I'd need something longer than 47"
I can make them longer, if needed. Just send me a PM if interested.
The cleaning boots are made with the same material. However, the quilted Cotten is on the outside and the marine vinyl is on the inside to protect the stock from cleaning solvents.
Thanks, Lee
