1. Will this slip accommodate a rifle with a scope and bipod attached?
Yes. The Protector 1 is specifically designed with a deep profile to accommodate modern stalking rifles fitted with large objective scopes and mounted bipods, ensuring you don’t have to strip down your gear before heading into the field
2. How does the "VP90" pouch work?
The slip features a dedicated internal pocket designed to hold a Napier VP90 vapour corrosion inhibitor. This pouch slowly releases a protective vapour that coats the metalwork of your rifle, helping to prevent rust and corrosion even if the rifle was put away slightly damp after a hunt.
3. Is the material suitable for heavy rain?
The slip is constructed from NATEX, a heavy-duty, waterproof material. While no soft slip should be used for long-term submersion, it is designed to withstand the typical wet conditions and muddy ground encountered during stalking.
4. Can I carry this over long distances comfortably?
Yes. Unlike basic slips that only offer a simple handle, this model includes a fully adjustable, colour coordinated shoulder strap. The padding is designed to distribute weight effectively, making it easier to carry your rifle while navigating difficult terrain or dragging a carcass.
5. What kind of protection does the interior provide for my stock?
The interior is lined with a "Syn-Fleece" material. This is a synthetic fleece bonded to the outer shell that provides a soft, non-abrasive surface to protect polished wooden stocks or delicate finishes from scratches during transport.
6. Is the barrel end reinforced?
Yes. To prevent the muzzle or the weight of the rifle from wearing through the bottom of the bag, the Protector 1 features a reinforced barrel end cap. This also includes a strong polypropylene hanging loop for easy storage when not in use.
7. Does it have storage for my firearms license?
The slip includes an extra large external zip pocket. This is specifically sized to hold a standard UK firearms license, as well as other small essentials like cleaning cloths or spare ammunition.
8. How should I clean the slip if it gets muddy?
The NATEX exterior can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild soap. It is recommended to avoid fully submerging or machine washing the slip, as this can strip the protective coatings from the internal fleece lining. Always allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
