How Can You Protect Your Air Rifle When Out In The Field?

[Robbo1234 2]

Hi

I'm an air rifle enthusiast from cumbria who like plinking in the garden and shooting rabbits etc I shoot a bsa lightning se and I was just wondering how I could protect my gun when out in the field especially my moderator as this scratches very easy?!?

I was wondering if anybody could suggest anything?

Thanks!

You could try a moderator cover - I think they're made of neoprene or similar, or you could wrap it in camo tape.

Thanks I think I might try a camo wrap for it and see what it's like

I've used that foam pipe insulation in the past on moderators, did the trick of protecting from damage.

I believe airgun mod covers only come in pink.

I believe airgun mod covers only come in pink.

no. They also come in bonny blues and subtle hints of yellow.

 

I apologise for the above link. That stuff is only for big boys who choose to decimate rabbits from 300yds away.

Jack Pyke do a load of neoprene covers. I currently have a scope cover, stock cover, and a barrel cover. But I have a thick barrel (Gamo Varmint Stalker). On a thinner barrel it really wouldn't work.

You could use some No-Mar Gun and Bow Tape.

You can use green sniper tape from surplus shops, you get loads in a roll and can use a black marker pen to make the tape a bit more camo.

Jack pyke do a few things. They do a wrap which is like a bandage that sticks to its self so no sticky residue left if you remove it. (I use this) or there is a thing called camoit, it's a plastic wrap you shrink to the shape of your rifle. Google it. It looks pretty awesome if you have to time to fit it.
