Rifles
Measure the full rifle, then account for the stock, recoil pad, sling and any other detail that changes its length. Standard, short and larger rifle Sack-Ups let you choose a fit that makes regular storage easier.

Gun Socks for Storage and Protection
Choose a silicone-treated cotton Sack-Up sized for the rifle, shotgun, pistol or larger setup you want to keep protected between outings.
A better layer between pieces
Give the firearm a softer place to rest.
A firearm can pick up a surprising amount of ordinary wear between range days, hunting trips and time at the bench. It may rest beside other firearms in a safe, move through a vehicle or case, or sit near the tools and gear used to maintain it. A gun sock creates a soft layer between the finish and the surfaces around it, so storage feels more deliberate from the moment the firearm is put away.
Sack-Ups are made from a true cotton blend treated with silicone. The knit fabric is designed for the practical moments after use, when a clean, dry firearm needs a place to rest before the next trip out. It is a straightforward addition to a storage routine for the firearm you shoot, hunt with, collect or keep ready to inspect.
Choose by firearm, not by guesswork
One collection can need more than one kind of gun sock.
Gun socks work best when the fit matches the firearm. A compact handgun has different needs from a full-length shotgun. A rifle with a tall scope, broad stock or added accessories may need more room than a standard sleeve. Forcing a firearm into a tight cover makes the routine harder and can leave the parts you care about without the comfortable coverage they need.
Start with the complete unloaded firearm. Measure its length, notice the features that add height or bulk and choose a Sack-Up that can slide on and off without strain. Sack-Ups offers options for shorter handguns, full-length rifles and shotguns, and larger scoped or AR-style setups, so a mixed collection does not have to settle for a one-size-fits-all approach.

Find the right starting point
Match the sleeve to the firearm you actually own.
Shotguns
A shotgun sleeve should cover the complete firearm without forcing the fabric over a wider stock, rib, sling or other detail. Start with length, then allow enough room for a smooth fit from safe to field.
Shop shotgun socks ->Handguns and larger setups
Compact pistols, full-size handguns, revolvers and scoped firearms each have their own profile. Choose a shorter or roomier Sack-Up based on the complete firearm, including any optic or feature that changes the outline.
Shop pistol socks ->When several firearms share the same storage space, choose the fit for each one instead of trying to make every sleeve do the same job. A properly sized gun sock is easier to use, easier to keep clean and more likely to stay with the firearm it protects.

Keep the safe organized without treating protection as an afterthought.
A gun sock does its best work as part of an orderly storage setup. Before covering a firearm, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and applicable safety practices. Make sure the firearm and sleeve are clean and dry, then return it to a secure place where it can rest without crowding the next piece in the collection.
For a full safe or cabinet, keeping one fitted sleeve with each firearm removes a lot of unnecessary handling. You do not need to search for the right cover after every outing or borrow one from another firearm. Each firearm has its own protection and its own place, making it easier to see when a shelf is crowded, a sleeve needs cleaning or the storage area needs attention.
That rhythm also helps when the collection changes. A new firearm, a different optic or a move to another safe can change the space you need. Choosing the right Sack-Up for each piece gives you a practical way to maintain a clear, repeatable setup rather than stacking gear together and hoping it stays organized.
Before storage
Remove obvious dirt and moisture, let the firearm dry and complete any manufacturer-recommended care before using a clean, dry sleeve.
In the safe
Leave enough clearance to remove a firearm without dragging it across another. A soft sleeve helps reduce contact, but a stable, secure storage position still matters.
For travel
Use the required hard case or other equipment for your trip. A Sack-Up can provide a soft layer before and after travel, when the firearm returns to storage.
Built for the time between outings
Make protection simple enough to use every time.
The best firearm-storage routine is one that is easy to repeat. A Sack-Up gives you a simple next step after cleaning, inspecting or returning from the range. Once the firearm is ready for storage, the right sleeve can go back on without a struggle, and the firearm can return to its regular position instead of resting directly against nearby surfaces.
Keep the basics in view. A sleeve is not a replacement for secure storage, careful handling, moisture control or regular inspection. It is a useful layer that supports those habits. Check the storage area as conditions change, especially after a wet outing, a seasonal shift or a reorganization that puts more gear into the same space.
Sack-Ups has made protective products in Morganton, North Carolina since 1985. That experience shows in a product made for the equipment people use, care for and pass down. Start with the fit, keep the firearm and sleeve clean and dry, and let the storage routine stay as calm and consistent as the collection deserves.
For several firearms, multi-pack options can help give each piece its own protective layer. For retail programs, clubs or larger needs, the wholesale and custom-logo options offer a separate path designed for that kind of order.
Frequently asked questions
Answers before you choose a gun sock.
What is a gun sock used for?
A properly fitted gun sock gives a firearm a soft layer during storage and transport. It can help reduce ordinary contact with nearby surfaces, dust and handling, but it does not replace secure storage, routine inspection or the firearm manufacturer’s care guidance.
How do I choose the right gun sock size?
Measure the complete unloaded firearm from end to end, including the details that add length or bulk. A standard rifle, a shotgun, a compact pistol and a scoped rifle may all need different sizes. The Sack-Ups Buyer’s Guide is the best place to compare the fit.
Can I use a gun sock in a gun safe?
Yes. A clean, dry, properly fitted Sack-Up can be a useful protective layer inside an appropriate secure storage space. Leave each firearm enough room to be removed carefully, and continue to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and applicable safety practices.
Are gun socks useful for travel?
A Sack-Up adds a soft layer while a firearm is being carried to and from an outing. For travel, always follow applicable laws and the requirements of the carrier and destination, including any hard-case or other equipment requirements.
