Or is it all only done for looks ? Hi Salop sniper, I've no experience of dipped guns, but those I have seen do look good! I have tape or cloth on three shotties, see http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/ind...rt=#entry817761 My HW100 was taped around the scope and cylinder up to the sidewheel but is now only taped on the moderator. I now move the scope forward when using night-vision and back for day use. Tape does offer some protection, but as I said in the quoted article, the Jack Pyke stuff sucked up the oil from my forend!

aaron airgunner Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 i dont know about tape but i wrapped some scrim scarf around my air rifle barrel and cylinder and its has made a difference. when youre sitting in a hedge waiting for rabbits, compared to the rest of you, your gun barrel really glints and catches the sun which is unnatrual. a scrim scarf wrapped round really prevents this and is much better than tape as you can take i on and off as you please.

steve_b_wales Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Not sure of the make, but I use a cammo cloth tape that only sticks to itself. I've got it on one of my shotgun barrels, purely to stop the glare/shine when pigeon shooting. It hasn't made any difference to my bag total though, as I can miss with tape on, or off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeh Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 The other thing to watch out for, is some tape lets water get through, and underneath the tape itself. Having constant moisture on your barrel for a few weeks (or even a few days) has got a habbit or rusting it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
