I finally took the camo tape, that's been on the barrel, of my stainless M700 mountain rifle for 25 years, last Friday.
Put on in the mistaken belief that it might help, when hunting Chamois.
One little rust pit about 1mm, and a couple tiny spots with a bit of surface rust, were tape was damaged, guess like many things it depends how good of job you do, and the quality of the product used.
