They're pretty receptive to custom stuff. I had them make a mini Summit for my Spectre.

After reviewing so many covers, I went with this as well.  Love it on my benchrest rifle.

I have three different covers:

-Bowers Griptastic for my Specwar 556, love it for that application, but once it is on, it is on.
-Rifles Only HAD for my Specwar 762.  I cannot get it on tight enough to be it from slipping with recoil.
- Cole-Tac Python for my YHM Ti 762 can.  It works great, less slippage than Rifles Only.  I went with this one as it is on a bolt gun and it is thinner.  My scope is low enough that I was getting the Rifles Only HAD in my image.

I've had issues with my Rifles Only moving forward as well. He suggests wrapping the barrel with the last bit of cord. The cord doesn't melt. Swapping it from rifle to rifle takes a little extra effort to keep it all tight using the barrel wrap method.

 





I had them send me a couple extra 'cord keepers' and am going to try this set up:

Having to tie the cover off to keep it from slipping is a fix for a poor product.
That's why I'll stick Cole Tac for my money.

Range day on Saturday I'll be honest the cover slips forward  after a couple rounds

To me it's not a big deal as I am not sending several rounds down range quickly.  I fire a round maybe two check the torque of the can and then slide the cover back

It's works for me

If I was an elite sniper sending multiple rounds or in a competition where I didn't want to think about it slipping... That would be different

It depends on the surface texture of the suppressor tube - the Cole-Tac cover will slip on my Harvester while the covers hold just fine on other suppressors.

Thanks for posting that.



I would also think, under rapid fire, the velcro would act as a heat sink and melt the cover.




The heat cord on the rifles only cover does this slightly.

Aren't the new SiCo covers re-branded Cole Tacs?

They look pretty similar to our covers, eh?  I can neither confirm nor deny that we made them for SiCo.

Under raid fire no other Cole Tac users experience the cover sliding forward?



No melting under or near the velcro straps?

Call me a skeptic, but I don't see how 3 velcro straps holds that thing in place while rapid firing.

If you look at how we use the buckles in conjunction with the webbing with Velcro, it acts more like a pulley.  You can get these straps extremely tight to the point where they do not shift at all under recoil.  The other huge benefit with us, is we are a small company that stands behind everything we make.  If you ever have issues with you gear contact us and we will take care of it.

While I do not do a lot of rapid fire, I have had less slipage with my Cole-Tac Python than my Rifles Only HAD.  I use both on .308s and the Rifles Only requires frequent checking, I just can't get it tight enough.

For my rapid fire on an SBR, I have a Bowers Griptastic, that thing is going nowhere.

Good info and video.
Rifles Only video was very similar. It didn't move and the inner and outer sleeve appear to be the same material.

 
I just rewatched his video and at the 2 minute mark you can see where he tightened the outer sleeve in a way that it looks to clamp it down to the suppressor mount and or barrel. I didn't see that the 1st time and I don't fasten the outer sleeve this way. at about the 1 minute mark it looks fastened the way I do it.




For the record, Rifles Only stands behind their gear if issues arrive.




On a side note I will be trying a Cole Tac :)
