1. A cover for a long firearm, providing snagless retention, comprising:
a longitudinally elongated central body formed of flexible sheet material forming two opposite side panels defining between them a firearm reception space and forming an open bottom permitting reception of a firearm from below into said firearm reception space, when presented;
a scope pocket connected to a top edge of said central body and having an open scope pocket bottom communicating with said firearm reception space for reception of a scope on a presented firearm carrying such scope;
a peripheral path defining the edge of said open scope pocket bottom, thereby defining the shape and location of the open scope pocket bottom;
an elongated, stretchable elastic cord having a central length and two opposite end cord lengths, with said central cord length connected to said peripheral path and imparting elastic qualities to the peripheral path, said elastic qualities applying a selected degree of tension to the peripheral path according to stretch applied to the central cord length, and said end cord lengths exiting from the peripheral path at a point in near proximity to one another;
a cord locking element receiving the end cord lengths exiting the peripheral path and selectively locking the end cord lengths to preserve an applied degree of tension of the central cord length;
an elongated support panel defining elongated support passage receiving and supporting the end lengths from the end cord locking element;
a unifying tab receiving and uniting the end cord lengths from said support panel, preventing extraction of the end cord lengths from the support panel, and serving as a sag preventer for maintaining the end cord lengths from dangling below the cover; and
wherein, the cord locking element and the support panel are attached to the central body near the top edge thereof to further support the end cord lengths from dangling from the cover.
