I use scotch brand electrical tape. It stays more flexible in colder weather than some others I've tried. I wrap a little extra a couple inches back from the bore as spares.

I ALLWAYS keep my muzzle taped when hunting. It doesn't affect accuracy a bit. I had a sling break when hunting and the muzzle went straight down into the mud. If I'd had it taped I could of kept hunting. Instead I had to head back and find a cleaning rod to get the mud out, never again - I always keep them taped rain or shine................................DJ


Remember this is all supposed to be for fun.......................
