I experienced this a long time ago the zipper on my vest, it was scratching the stock on my 16 gauge vhe. I tried a few things but finally got one from the Orvis company that only had buttons. I still have it and no issues on the stock.
Not sure if it is still available. |

Buttons, no zippers on any game vest I buy. Also, I used orange duct tape to wrap the shoulder harness keepers as you used the leather on the strap vest. Your way is classier, mine was field expedient.

Did the same on my strap vest only I used blue painters tape. It was all I had at the moment and is still on there.

Several years ago Filson sold a game bag (style 16020) no exposed metal or anything that could damage the finish of a gun. It’s perfect: two bellows pockets on each side (one one each side with shell loops). Easy to slip a bird in through the front. Big enough to carry plenty of ammo, a water bottle, leash, multi tool, compass, and more without feeling bulky. Of course, as is always the case it was discontinued. Too bad.
I’ve worn mine to the point that I’m going to have to send it in to them this winter to have it patched along the bottom. |

You wouldn't believe how many people will buy a $10,000 guitar and give it a case of buckle rash within a week.

Wonder how it would work to paint a coat of "liquid rubber" onto the buttons and other exposed metal strap parts? They sell some stuff that is used to dip tool handles into, then it is supposed to dry but stay flexible. Just thinking out loud, but it might work.
