- the instant invention relates generally to hunting accessories and in particular to a protective guard for the action and scope of a rifle or a shotgun.
- Deer hunters and other big game hunters often purchase very expensive telescope sighted rifles which are vulnerable to bad weather, including rain, snow, mud, moisture on underbrush that the hunter is passing through. These moisture sources are the beginning of corrosion which can mar or even ruin expensive equipment.
- Even in dry conditions a scoped rifle or a shotgun can be easily damaged by sand, dirt, or even dust.
- a typical hunting trip can cost as much as $25,000.
- a rifle with scope can cost $1,500 to $5,000 or more while a shotgun can cost as much.
- scope guards are available but their protection is limited to the scope itself. Zippered gun cases which cover the entire weapon are also in widespread use, but their use can delay a hunter's first shot, completely defeating the purpose of the hunt.

Abstract
A guard for protecting the scope and action of a hunting rifle or the action of a shotgun. The guard can be folded around the scope and action of the rifle or around the action of the shotgun and is held in place by magnets positioned along opposite edges of the guard. The other edges of the guard are gathered by elastic material so that when the guard is folded around the scope and action of the rifle or around the action of the shotgun, the other edges form a cuff around the butt of the rifle or shotgun and a cuff around the barrel of the rifle or shotgun.
Description
- The instant application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62/447,342 filed Jan. 17, 2017. The instant invention relates generally to hunting accessories and in particular to a protective guard for the action and scope of a rifle or a shotgun. Deer hunters and other big game hunters often purchase very expensive telescope sighted rifles which are vulnerable to bad weather, including rain, snow, mud, moisture on underbrush that the hunter is passing through. These moisture sources are the beginning of corrosion which can mar or even ruin expensive equipment. Even in dry conditions a scoped rifle or a shotgun can be easily damaged by sand, dirt, or even dust. A typical hunting trip can cost as much as $25,000. A rifle with scope can cost $1,500 to $5,000 or more while a shotgun can cost as much. Considering the cost of a hunting trip and the cost of equipment, and the expense that replacing such equipment, means to protect the weapon from moisture and dirt, while enabling the hunter to quickly make the weapon ready to shoot are needed. Currently, scope guards are available but their protection is limited to the scope itself. Zippered gun cases which cover the entire weapon are also in widespread use, but their use can delay a hunter's first shot, completely defeating the purpose of the hunt. An easily and quietly removable, protective guard for a scoped rifle or a shotgun, to protect the scope as well as the action area of the rifle or shotgun is needed in this art.
- The instant invention is the discovery of a protective guard for a scoped rifle or a shotgun. The guard can be folded around the scope and action of the rifle or around the action of the shotgun and is held in place by magnets positioned along opposite edges of the guard. The other edges of the guard are gathered by elastic material so that when the guard is folded around the scope and action of the rifle or around the action of the shotgun, the other edges form a cuff around the butt of the rifle or shotgun and a cuff around the barrel of the rifle or shotgun. The guard can be easily and quietly removed from the rifle or shotgun due to the magnetic closure of the guard around the scope and action of the rifle or the action of the shotgun.
- More specifically the instant invention is in one embodiment an article for use with, for example, a rifle, the rifle comprising a stock having a butt portion, an action attached to the stock, a barrel attached to the action and a telescope sight attached to the action and/or the barrel, the article comprising: a sheet of flexible material comprising first, second, third and fourth edges, the first and second ends being on the opposite sides of the sheet of flexible material, the third and fourth edges being on the opposite sides of the sheet of flexible material and orthogonal to the first and second edges; the third and fourth edges comprising an elastomer so that the third and fourth edges are gathered when the elastomer is relaxed; the first and second edges comprising magnetic elements positioned at or near the ends of the first and second edges so that when the article is folded around the telescope sight and action of the rifle the first and second edges of the article are held together by magnetic attraction of the magnetic elements while the gathered third and fourth edges form a cuff around the butt of the stock and a cuff around the barrel. The article of the instant invention can also be used to protect a shotgun.
- In another embodiment, the instant invention is a method for covering and uncovering the telescope sight and action of a rifle comprising a stock having a butt portion, an action attached to the stock, a barrel attached to the action and a telescope sight attached to the action and/or the barrel, the method comprising the steps of: folding the article of the previous paragraph around the telescope sight and action of the rifle so that the first and second edges of the article are held together by magnetic attraction of the magnetic elements while the gathered third and fourth edges form a cuff around the butt of the stock and a cuff around the barrel to cover the telescope sight and action of the rifle; and pulling the first and second edges of the article with sufficient force to overcome the magnetic attraction of the magnetic elements to uncover the telescope sight and action of the rifle.
- In yet another embodiment, the instant invention is a method for covering and uncovering the action of a shotgun comprising a stock having a butt portion, an action attached to the stock, and a barrel attached to the action, the method comprising the steps of: folding the article of Claim 1 around the action so that the first and second edges of the article are held together by magnetic attraction of the magnetic elements while the gathered third and fourth edges form a cuff around the butt of the stock and a cuff around the barrel to cover the action of the shotgun; and pulling the first and second edges of the article with sufficient force to overcome the magnetic attraction of the magnetic elements to uncover the action of the shotgun.

Gathered hem 26 forms a cuff aroundbutt stock 18 b. Gathered hem 25 forms a cuff aroundbarrel 18 c.Article 10 is quickly and quietly removed from rifle 18 by pulling hem 23 to release the magnets sewn into hem 23 and hem 24. Referring now toFIG. 6 , therein is shownarticle 10 as shown inFIG. 3 folded around rifle 18 so thatsheet 12 comprised of hunter orange is exposed. Pocket 19 is preferably attached tosheet 12 for containing information such as wind deflection and bullet drop data. Although not shown,sheet 11 can also be provided with such a pocket. It should be understood that any number of such pockets can be attached to one or both sides of the guard of the instant invention and that such pockets can have a clear window so that information contained in a pocket can be read through the window. - The components of the instant invention can be made of any suitable material. For example, a sheet of GORTEX brand waterproof material (or similar waterproof material) can be used between the
sheets article 10 shown inFIG. 1 . Althougharticle 10 shown inFIG. 1 comprises two sheets of fabric sewn together so that one side ofarticle 10 has a camouflage pattern while the other side shows hunter orange, it should be understood that a single sheet of flexible material can be used. Thenapped rubber grips article 10 shown inFIG. 1 uses magnets inhem 23 and inhem 24 it should be understood that the magnets inhem 23 or in hem 24 can optionally correspond with a ferromagnetic material such as steel. Althougharticle 10 shown inFIG. 1 uses two magnets in the center portion ofhems article 10 shown inFIG. 1 useselastic cord 13, any suitable elastic material can be used in the instant invention. - While the instant invention has been described above according to its preferred embodiments, it can be modified within the spirit and scope of this disclosure. This application is therefore intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the instant invention using the general principles disclosed herein. Further, the instant application is intended to cover such departures from the present disclosure as come within the known or customary practice in the art to which this invention pertains.
