Abstract
A new protective covering device (14) for guns (16) with telescopic sights providing protection for the telescopic sight, trigger and action while the gun (16) is being carried in the field. The covering device (14) is comprised of a single expanse of flexible waterproof material (14) having sufficient size to envelop the midsection of a gun (16), to include the telescopic sight, action and trigger. Attached to the flat upper edge of flexible material (4) are one or more straps (10A, 10B) extending outward and having a releasable connector device (8) attached to the free end providing means for attaching the covering device (14) to the telescopic sight of a sun (16). Integral with the lower portion of the covering device (14), is an elastic member (6) defining a circuitous and somewhat encircling route adjacent to and parallel with a skirted edge (12). As the covering device (14) is wrapped around and closed over the midsection of a gun (16), the integral elastic member (6) is stretched into tension and provides a retaining and sealing of the flexible material (4) about the weather sensitive midsection of a gun (16). The skirted edge (12) participates in providing the desired protection while conveniently serving as a means for the user to grasp the covering device (14) in order to open and close the covering device (14).
