    Been using them for years. More for scratch protection than anything else.

        I've wondered if it's a good idea to store anything with optics in one. Could the silicone react with lens coatings?

          I have a single borestore, and several socks. I'd definitely like to get borestores for all the items in the safe. There are more options for glass on the long guns, a offer a bit more bang and bump protection.

            I have used Sackups for almost 15 years, no problems so far. Mike

              When we first got together we used to use latex gun socks. Now, we dont use any socks.

                I have Bore-Stores for all of my handguns and most of my rifles but I have my lever action rifles in Gunsocks.

                  +1. My personal favorite and well worth the $$ IMO.

                      They're great protection from scratches/ dings when moving in and out of the safe.

                        At one time all my guns were in BoreStores.

                          Another vote for Bore Stores

                            I have used both for years and they both work well, really cuts down on gun on gun damage - in the safe, etc. Never noticed rust on anything stored in either one.

                            Bore stores do seem to take up more room and are harder to fit in the muzzle holes of large safes. YMMV

                              I used several brands but Bore Stores are my favorite. Yes they are thicker than the others I've used but that's a good thing IMO.

                                Silicone Gun Socks

                                Is Bore Stores still in business?
