That was easy, do we want to do Opinions Of Butler Creek Scope Caps next?  Maybe there should be a sticky of FAQ's somewhere?

I almost lost a gulp of baileys and coffee when I read this. It's a tired expression on the boards, but true in this instance...

I like the electrical tape made for cold weather, since it seems to keep on (re)sticking even below zero.

We always put electricians tape over the muzzle. It's saved me at least once. Also, take a couple of extra turns around the barrel. Then, after you've taken a shot, you've got extra tape to unwind to replace the tape on the muzzle.

Ditto Sgt. Not necessarily about dragging the crown in the dirt,but snow does fall out of the sky or trees, and debris builds up in scabbards,or slings break, ect

Of course. Lots of positives, very few negatives. Tape is cheap.

I prefer translucent tape (Tesafilm or s.l.th.) over the muzzle because it allows me to check the barrel for obstructions.
I once found a whole clan - Dozens - of Earworms crowded in the barrel when the rifle's bolt was left open for some hours during a midday rest). Do you bury your rifle???

Yes I tape. it works great and gives me a reason to pack extra tape wrapped on the barrel for that cool look!

It actually enhances accuracy. The tape allows extra air pressure to build up ahead of the bullet in the barrel and when the pressure finally breaks the tape, the tape disk is launched staight ahead at high velocity and creates a momentary "flat spot" in the atmospheric meplat (that small cone of air pushed straight ahead by the bullet meplat) which the bullet itself then slips through in a more regulated manner, thereby negating the unevenness inherent in the microsphere at the crown normally induced by the slower expulsion of the air ahead of the bullet.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
