    Works a treat. No residue and easy to apply and remove.

    Does it leave marks when removed? And also does it stick well?
    Main reason im getting my scope an suppressor taped is because i have a wood stock w/blued barrel.
    And the scope is green which kinda doesnt look right haha

    No. Will not leave marks on an alloy scope. You can remove it and reapply it several times.

    It will come off after a while from being wet etc but I just use insulation tape to secure where the tape finishes. Has never come off since I done that.

    Sounds good, might give it a crack. Would you suggest putting it on before mounting the scope?

    Mount your scope and set your rifle up before you put the tape on. Cut lengths of tape to cover the bits you want wrapped. Works best when you have a good overlap of tape.

    I'm guessing you don't cover the barrel? Seen someone with that and figured it would wreck havoc with the harmonics!

    Probably. My scopes are detachable so I never gave that a thought. 😆

    I doubt it would effect the harmonics, but you do have have to watch your barrel doesn't rust or pit under the tape from wetness, I've seen some light pitting on a stainless tikka that had camp tape on it.
    Shut up, get out & start pushing!

    How do you get the roll of tape between the scope and the rifle?
