Abstract

Scope cover apparatus includes a generally cylindrical element made of stretchable material with end pieces and with a relatively narrow and elongated opening through which a scope fits into the scope cover. The material out of which the scope cover is made is elastic enough to stretch to fit onto a scope and yet to substantially cover the scope when the scope cover is placed on the scope for maximum protection.

Claims

1. A cover for a mounted telescopic sight comprising in combination:

a first end piece;

a second end piece generally parallel to and spaced apart from the first end piece;

a generally cylindrical element extending between and secured to the first and second end pieces;

a longitudinally extending opening in the cylindrical element having a generally elongated and pointed ended oval configuration through which the telescopic sight extends to be disposed within the cover.

2. The cover of claim 1 in which the end pieces and the cylindrical element are made of foam rubber having a nylon exterior and a nylon interior.
