About a month ago, I tried unsuccessfully to find a New-Old-Stock Hunter's Specialties "Snow Camo" Gun Sock as I had really good luck with the Advantage Camo one that I've used during spring turkey season for years. I was able to cut small holes in the top of the sock to clear my turkey sights and the tang safety, and I'd cut a slit in the bottom of the sock so the pump action and bottom-ejection of my BPS worked well too. I really was hoping to find a Snow Camo gun sock -- but no such luck...
For my "plan B", a few posters here had suggested the McNett Camo Wrap (printed "vet wrap"), and I'd used that in the past on my old side-by-side I had, so I went in that direction. The 222 wears a camo set from Beartooth Products, including the scope cover to camo/protect my illuminated-dot Leupold VX6 3-18X (Wow, what an awesome scope that is!).
With fox & bobcat seasons now closed in Maine, I'll focus on coyotes only, so to "be ready for anything", I'll plan to carry both a rifle (Rem 700 in Triple Deuce) and a 12 ga pump with #4 buck (Browning BPS Upland). The 222 will be set on a bipod using a rapid-pivot connection and I'll have the short/handy BPS Upland on my lap.
I'm pretty happy with how the McNett wrap came out on the BPS, and I secured it with white electrical tape. It's wrapped tighly around the barrel so I can easily pump the action and the wrap doesn't bind up at all, so that's good. I sure hope I get to try it out in the woods!
The only problem I have now is....................
I'd better not drop these!!!
My wife is a little worried that if I break my leg a mile or so in, they may not find me until MAY!
Oh well, might as well go doing what I love!
Happy hunting.
