Rain protection

[Bolivar]

Hey all. At the one precision event I attended last year, I noted a lot of the experienced shooters were making efforts to keep rain out of their chambers to avoid pressure issues.

Some where sliding clear plastic bags around the rifle and scope, other had neat looking pieces of clear plastic that the slipped between the front and rear scope mount to hang over top of the action.

Please share your tips and tricks with a newbie.

Coretac Solutions has the stuff you mentioned.

Do you have a link or can you direct me to the right pull section of the site. I looked for about 10 min and came up blank.

Thanks

Sorry, I was not clear. I looked on the Coretac Solutions site for 10 min and came up blank. The only thing I saw were wrap around scope protectors that looked like they would interfere with the bolt operation, loading rounds in the magazine and ejection. They would keep water out of the action but I don't think they can be used for the application I have in mind. Unless I am missing something?

I picked up a portable awning style thingy at Canadian Tire.

I drove 11.5 hours to shoot one year and had no plans on getting rained out.

Not sure how functional this is for you.

Hmmm, I like the idea of keeping everything dry. Not sure if that is cool with the rules thought. I sort of think not but I would have to check.

A army poncho or 2 is simple,cheap and works great, about 40$ for a good light weight one or 15-20 for heavier surplus stuff. that's what I use to cover Rifle/spot scope&gear from Sun & rain.
