Taking care of your #hunting #rifle not only ensures functionality, but protects your firearm from corrosion. Here are a few ways to protect your beloved hunting rifle from the outdoors.

Looking for an affordable gun carrier or protector, consider a gun sock. They serve as a easy and inexpensive method for transportation, however, be cautious not to buy one that contains cotton fibers. Cotton tends to retain moisture and if kept in a bag for too long can lead to damage. A great method of transporting to and from the hunt is using a hard case, which come in a wide variety styles and often budget friendly depending on brand. Some hard cases are built to seal tightly to keep air, dust, and moisture away from the firearm.
