What do you use for a scope pouch/bag?

[tpcollins]

I have two scopes with their own Bobro mounts for my AR. I keeps the smaller scope on when in the house. My other one is a SS 3-15x42 which runs 14" with the kill flash screwed on. Larue has a padded scope bag that will run about $64 tmd, just wondering if there was a bit less expensive option? Thanks.

I use the sleeve of an old scuba wetsuit.

Pistol Socks

Limited to one's imagination but I often use a regular heavy sock. If you don't like that look, use a pistol sock. Last month I bought six "Pistol" socks at Gander Mountain, for $2.00 ea. That's a stretch for me as I seldom buy anything at Gander Mountain. These are just like the long gun socks that have a draw sting at the open end. They are nicely padded. .....

Be Safe !!!

Crown Royal bags make great small scope storage bags. "The Purple Scrotum" bag has multiple uses for the hunter and shooter. I store my handguns in them,in the safe. Also my game calls,duck and goose calls, and another with my deer calls...you get the picture.

Just hit up a fabric store and you can pick up any remnant you desire. A simple dry cleaners or alterations type place can make you a small pouch or bag.

Thanks for the replies. I've got $900+ in the SS scope and Bobro mount so I'm looking for something a bit thicker than a layer of fabric. LaRue has a large scope bag that will handle up to an 18" scope supposedly, not sure I want 4" of slop inside though.

I suggest you revisit the $64 Larue you mentioned in the OP....sounds like a good deal to me if it fits your scope well.

I'm thinking the same thing Rayban. If someone assembled it - I would assume someone could disassemble, shorten, and then reassemble it albeit about 3 1/2' shorter.

Have you considered a foam pad filled pistol case, of the cheap variety? I have seen some for $20 at chain stores.

 

[tpcollins]

I've seen those pistol cases, and would have to put it in diagonally. But I'm still liking the looks of the LaRue bag.
