Waterproof Rifle Scabbard

Read The Alaska Life's review on our scabbard: The Alaska Life

Bush pilots encourage customers to use soft sided gun cases when flying out to remote Alaska. Our Waterproof Rifle Scabbard is the answer: a completely waterproof, padded and soft sided gun scabbard. If your rifle ever sees water, this scabbard is for you.

We have the interior insert material manufactured custom for NOMAR. It is constructed of closed cell foam covered with a silicone treated polyfleece that will protect your gun without scuffing. The 4 sq ft of 1/4" closed cell foam also has a flotation rating of 140 lbs. It will definitely float your firearm if it hits the water! All of this is laminated into a strong protective insert that fits snugly into the waterproof shell.

The exterior of the rifle scabbard is designed like a dry bag and manufactured using an 18 oz waterproof seatarp vinyl that's sealed at the edges. Extra strength is added with a sewn webbing edging that holds the carry handle and D-rings for an optional shoulder strap. You can also use those D-rings to secure the scabbard to a skiff, ATV or horse.

The scabbard's outer shell measures at 16.5" wide and tapers down to a 5" wide tip. The total length is 58" when laying completely flat but, when rolled down to create a waterproof seal, it should measure roughly 47".

Sizing Recommendations:

The scabbard's insert has a 11.5" opening that tapers down to a 3.5" wide tip. The total inside length of the insert is 45". We do not recommend more than 1" of overhang from the opening as it could prevent you from properly sealing the bag when you roll down the top. Our standard size will not fit a firearm with a suppressor or a bi-pod.

If your firearm is longer than 46" or too wide to fit our standard size insert, we do build custom scabbards. Pricing starts at $200 plus shipping and tax if applicable; our lead time is generally around 4 weeks but can change if it's the height of our season.

SEATARP is an 18 oz heavy duty waterproof vinyl that stays flexible to -20 degrees, yet comes in bright colors for maximum visibility and style. Our vinyl bags are the toughest on the market – ideal for heavy equipment or sharp edges.

QUESTION: Why is only light gray on sale?

Well, we've got answers if you're interested in the manufacturing side of things here at Nomar. Light gray seatarp is our go-to standard when we're manufacturing commercial fish products. As we're laying out patterns on our cut table, we try to add filler items so nothing is wasted. These rifle scabbards are a filler item and helping us keep material from going into the Homer landfill.
