Flexible cover/guard for rifle and piston scopes having a resilient protective inner portion and a fabric outer portion secured thereto

Abstract

The cover/guard (10) includes a main body section (12) and two end sections (14,16) which are sewn thereto along its end edges (32,34). A middle section (18) is secured across the main body section (12) at the longitudinal midpoint thereof. The cover/guard sections each comprise a foam rubber inner portion (20), such as Neoprene, with the inner surface thereof being treated to produce a skin surface, while to the outside surface of the inner portion (20) is secured a fabric portion (26), such as nylon, which is water resistant. The inner portion (20), being stretchable and cushioning, provides effective protection for a scope. The cover/guard (10) can be stretched to accommodate many different sizes of scopes. Two bands (40,42) conveniently hold the cover/guard (10) on the scope.
