Rifle covers

image.jpeg Jennb
Can you put up a picture of the cover in question? I make covers for guys that shoot benchrest, and I do have rifle cover, and if it looks like the one I have I can make them and even embroider any name on it. While I was typing someone posted a pic if thats what you saw or similar let me know. The one I have is a bit different but does cover the entire rifle.

I had one made to cover rifle/gear on the mat or in back of the line to protect against rain or blowing sand/dust etc.. It is 42" x 60" vinyl boat upholstery material that I had 2oz egg sinkers sewn into a hem pocket every 6-8" or so on the periphery in order to weight it down against a pretty stiff breeze. I had a local boat upholsterer/ canvas shop do it for me. I made it in a lighter color to reduce heat absorption.
 
Not looking for a case guys. Want something other than the baby crib sheet I use to put over my rifle between matches to keep the dust from getting in the chamber and barrel while it cools off.

Jenn, this evening I will try to snap a photo of the cover I had made before the Berger's to do just what you are describing. I had it made from waterproof fabric which adds a little weight. The small lead weights sewn into the perimeter kept it from lifting in the winds we had in Phoenix and helped with that Ben Avery dust;). If not needed to be completely waterproof, just fairly water resistant, it could be made from 'boat' canvas and be lighter and fold more compactly.

Yeah, I used my cover in Raton to keep the lava at bay, in Phoenix to keep the dust away, and at Lodi and Connaught to keep the rainwater away from the action. I have it in my bag at all time, ready to deploy at a moment's notice.
 
Here are pics of the weighted cover I had made:

Here are some ideas:

These were the first few hits that came from the Google query, "long gun elastic cover". They stretch-fit over the top of the rifle as opposed to a "sock-type" cover that has to slide over it lengthwise. Obviously, finding one with sufficient length is the issue. You also don't want something so heavy that it dramatically slows barrel cooling in between strings. If none of these are exactly what you're looking for, try modifying your search query in various ways to obtain different hits.
