Gun Cleaning Mat - Portable Waxed Canvas Rollout with Handle

Our review of the Rush Creek Creations gun cleaning mat finds it best suited to shooters who want a durable, portable surface for maintenance and range use; the single biggest reason to buy is its combination of a long 69' in rollout and a weather-resistant waxed canvas that protects firearms and tools while remaining easy to carry. The mat's soft padded handle and rollup form make it simple to move between a workbench, vehicle, or range, and the internal pockets keep cleaning kits and patches organized during transport.

Key Features

• Portable rollout: A 69' in by 16' in footprint provides ample workspace for rifles, shotguns, or pistols and their accessories while staying compact when rolled.
• Waxed canvas construction: Weather-resistant outer canvas helps repel moisture and resists scuffs so firearms stay protected during field or bench cleaning.
• Padded handle: The extra-large soft padded handle makes the mat easy to carry between home, the gun safe, and the range without straining the grip.
• Secure storage: Three internal pockets and two heavy-duty adjustable straps secure brushes, patches, solvents, and small tools so nothing rattles loose when transported.
• Dual use as shooting mat: The soft wool interior and sturdy backing double as a shooting mat to stabilize positions for pistols, rifles, and shotguns on uneven ground.

Who It's For

The Rush Creek Creations mat is ideal for hunters, competitive shooters, and hobbyists who need a reliable, portable surface that can both protect firearms during cleaning and serve as a shooting mat at the range. It works well for people who store gear in a safe or vehicle and appreciate a mat that rolls up neatly and tucks away.

This mat is less appropriate for someone seeking a large heavy-duty range rug for prone long-range shooting beyond its 69' in length or for users expecting thick foam padding; it prioritizes portability, organization, and weather resistance rather than thick cushioning.
