[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 348, member: 25"] Len, The mountain guides and many Sask deer outfitters that we have hunted with like to put a wrap of electricians tape over their muzzles. Cut a piece about 3 inches long and stretch it over the muzzle, then cut little slits in it at right angles so the tape will conform to the barrel curve. Then put one more wrap around the previous piece of tape at right angles, all around the barrel about an inch below the muzzle. I have shot the rifle on the range and cannot determine any differences in POI or accuracy. We also but about 4-6 inches around the barrel at the midway mark so that we have some replacement tape in case we fire a shot. Tape doesn't stick very well in real cold weather but putting the second piece on will hold the original in place. The little rubbers are good too no doubt, but electrician's or duct tape is usually in camp. [/QUOTE]
