SO I HUNT Report post Posted September 27, 2020 Where is the best place to buy a cover? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AzDiamondHeat Report post Posted September 27, 2020 There are some very nice and very expensive ones out there, but what is your purpose? I have had one of the amazon cheapies(called an airsoft cover) on mine for almost 2 years with ZERO issues. I use mine for hunting only though so it never really gets "hot". Even sighting in once a year with 4 or 5 shots in a couple minutes it does just fine. I doubt it would hold up to a mag dump though. Maybe one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NewlyMinted Report post Posted September 27, 2020 What’s the purpose of a cover on them, do they generally not match the barrel or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cactusjack Report post Posted September 27, 2020 Covers do server several purposes. Heat related. 1, For handling. They can burn you or melt your case. 2, Shielding heat that makes heat wave distortion. 3. They look cool. I use them on my Ar15/M16 and Sten but not on my hunting rifles. Extra weight. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HuntHarder Report post Posted September 27, 2020 #1 reason... They are super Tacti-cool. They also do a good job of minimizing the heat signature off of them. Its pretty amazing how fast they heat up. A few shots and they are untouchable without a cover or glove. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yotebuster Report post Posted September 27, 2020 I can’t stand the look of them personally. I have been running a suppressor on my .28 nosler this year and loving it. Shoots better, picked up an extra 70 FPS and I can shoot it without hearing protection. Killed a couple elk so far with it and don’t know if I’ll be able to go back to unsuppressed. The only thing I’ve noticed is after 2-3 shots I get bad heat waves in my scope without a cover. I still don’t think I’d use one for hunting though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted September 28, 2020 "Tacticool" poses for your enjoyment... They mitigate mirage, make handling one after 3-4 shots possible, they protect the suppressor. I was shooting a suppressed .300WM without a cover today. After 2 shots, mirage was noticeable, after the third, mirage was definitely causing the target image to waver a lot. I have shot other times, 5-6 shots with a cover before mirage started to effect sight picture. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZBIG10 Report post Posted September 28, 2020 Could you use a heavy duty moving (cut to size) blanket and some zip ties? That would be cost effective af Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
