I've never taped my muzzle, but am hunting in MO this sat with rain in the forcast. I'll be hunting regardless of the weather since I'm only going to be there 3 days. How should I or how should I not tape my barrel to keep the rain out yet not affect accuracy. I've never shot at the range with a taped barrel so my confidence that it won't throw the bullet impact off, is a little weak. Thanks for any feedback and pics to demonstrate. What kind of tape do you recommend? RBH
Lol. This again.
I hunt in the rain all the time and have never taped. It ain't hardly necessary. Do keep in mind, if you carry empty chamber and muzzle-down the tape can actually trap water in the barrel.
For those who DO use their rifle as a prybar or chisel <grin> I can see the utility in taping to keep debris out. Dumbphuck that I am on this subject, I still manage to hunt hard in the rain and bluster without getting debris in my barrels but that's probably just dumb luck.
