The Allen 131 Stretch Knit Gun Sock provides superior protection for shotguns and rifles up to 52 inches with mounted scopes. This silicone-treated gun sock prevents scratches, dings, and moisture damage during transport and storage while maintaining quick access to firearms.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic fabric sleeves, this stretch knit construction accommodates scoped rifles and shotguns without binding or distortion. The silicone treatment creates a moisture barrier that standard cotton socks cannot match. The 52-inch length covers full-size hunting rifles and tactical shotguns completely, while the stretch material conforms to irregular shapes like scope turrets and sling mounts.
