I am looking for some leather butt stock covers for my shotgun and lever action rifle.  Can someone help me to find some.  New Salem Bob

In addition to the custom shop already mentioned by  W.T.   Evil Roy has a more economical style if all you are looking for is protection for your butt stocks during matches.   Safe shooting.  Deadeye.

I sell a basic soft leather cover and a tooled thicker leather cover. 22.00 and 35.00. Can be seen at www.whyteleatherworks.com  Here is a pic of the softer one. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c262/mwhyte123/Baikal.jpg

Something to think about when purchasing a butt stock cover is the texture of the cover.  Some, like the ones that Evil Roy sells, are designed with a rough texture so that once you get the rifle to your shoulder it is less likely to slip around.  SOme people like this and some don't.  A smooth leather butt cover, smooth on the business end, is going to slip a bit more than having nothing on the rifle and is more for looks that anything.

The Kirkpatrick stock cover is a thicker leather and is smooth everywhere but on the end of the stock.  It grabs and holds pretty well but still allows for slight adjustment if you don't get your rifle exactly where you want it on the first try.

This is a good consideration. I made mine that way and it makes a big difference. It's a good idea to get longer ones, too so you don't chew up your stock on the hammer of your pistol when holding the rifle or shotgun at port-of-arms.

That's good looking Will!  Do you make them to sell?

I don't sell them. They'd cost too much for the time it takes to make 'em. I like them snug so they don't shift, too, they're a bear to stretch on. People'd accuse me of making the wrong size.
