I was disappointed in how much the covers cost and how much they weight. Even the lightest cover is 2.5oz. Most of them cost upwards of $60-70, and a lot of them don’t even stay put. So, I did some research on DIY covers. I can make one for half the weight and 1/5 the cost. I settled on hi-temp silicone tape covered in vet wrap. Welding blanket is another option. I have a thread here somewhere, plus I looked on other forums. Form says it works fine and the silicone doesn’t fuse to the can. You will lose the ability to take it on/off easily, and it won’t work well enough for a gas gun, however for a bolt gun it should be fine. It will give some protection and reduce mirage in a cheap and lightweight package.

Yeah covers suck. They cost money, don’t stay on most of the time and they look dumb.
