    Sack Ups Rifle and Knife protection

    Just spent some time overnighting in Sika country and we had a night of thunderstorms lightning and rain

    Fortunately I took my rifle sock and covered the rifle To keep out water and debris


    Sack-Ups










    Its a fantastic lightweight product and saves me worrying about the rifle through the night.

    Is anyone else using something similar ?

    The Sako Saum just slept outside in the dew and frost on Friday with the packs.
    Pick it up in the morning and off we go.

    Is anyone using something similar you ask. Not anymore but I have used a smaller lubricated rubber version in the past.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I got some from reloaders suppliers I think. I use it for a take down rifle when it's in my pack, gives it quite a bit of protection without any bulk.
