   Put a bit of bike inner tube over the suppressor and each end of the scope. Keeps it free from scratches and dings. Good for a fire and also nicer when you place it down in the field.

   +1 for inner tube. Can help out if needed to start fire as well. If you do go with a bike inner tube, have a think about running a length of polycotton thread along the underside of suppressor...
