KenatiWaterproof Gun Case (like a dry bag)
I saved a picture of this gun case a while back and now I cannot seem to find it again for sale anywhere.
I often hunt by boat and in inclement weather. I would like a case like this to protect my rifle/shotgun.
Have any of you seen this for sale anywhere?

Not a problem, Kenati.
All the info to look for was on the picture. When you saved it originally, it was named Zip Dry Waterproof Bag. All I did was search for that.

Thanks, Bren. I don't know about any games though. I just ran across it somewhere and thought it matched nicely with my signature line.

N E 450 No2Cascade Designs used to make rifle dry bags. You put yopur rifle in a soft guncase inside the dry bag and then rolled it closed.
Also I have used some of the roll down bags designed for kyaks with a double rifle, in a Boyt take down soft case.

Frank MartinezJust be super careful with these or other waterproof bags. While I was having them made we used a waterproof material and water resistant zippers but were made aware that if rifles were put away with "ANY" moisture on them or without being wiped down adequately rust specks showed up very quickly.
I still have some but use Silicone bags first and then leave the end of the zipper open.

LionHunterWaterfowlers have used these type bags for years. Cabela's usually have some. They will even float your gun should it accidentally go overboard! I bought one 10 years ago to use when duck hunting.

My bow is "Controled Round Feed".
It has one of those circular brush type arrow rests.

swampshooterI have one from Cabelas that I've had for 8 years or so. I used it duck and goose hunting. IIRC it also floated. It worked fine, even in heavy rain. Always kept my shotgun dry.
velocity is like a new car, always losing value.
BC is like diamonds, holding value forever.
