Gorrilla tape. Waterproof and verifiably so by my own 'extreme' testing on the Alaska Penninsula this past October.

Ok, you guys convinced me. Even though I've never had a problem that I was aware of, there may have been times when I had snow or other stuff in my barrel that I didn't know about, and the tape is cheap with no downside, so its just cheap insurance.

handwerk, don't deer see blue very well? Seems I read that once in a story about why they DON'T see blaze orange well.
If so, I wouldn't want a blue dot on the end of my barrel- at least where I hunt, which tends to be be close-up.
I had one day a few years ago that I should have put tape on my muzzle... sloppy slushy snow all day, then it got cold and about froze my rifle solid. I guess enough water got into the rest of the rifle that it might not have even helped, really...

Dancing Bear: I like to leave the roll of extra tape on for a year, or two, or so.....leaves a mark, maybe a bit of light rusting  ............looks cool later when people ask "what's that"!

I posted.....I left......Good grief, I think I'm gonna go have a beer and ponder the post I just read...
Jeff, do we hunt in the same state???? Are you actually hunting in Western Oregon??? I've heard you mention "where I hunt" and how close you're getting to these deer that guns are loaded.....quiet safeties are employed, and now the chance of a blue piece of tape might spoil it all.
I think you might want to go to a matte camo Kabar and turn in your rifles. I would suggest that you don't sharpen it......that shiny surface might give away your position before you commence to lunging and stabbing wildly................grin

John,
Been doing it for many(many) years.No problems to report! That said, electricians tape can also be used for many other uses. Such as emergency repairs(stocks, ect.), first-aid uses(splints,ect), and many other things an imaginative mind can invent. memtb

...I buy a package of the very small size party ballons. Just roll one over the muzzle end and you're all set. It does not effect point of impact at all, but very effectively protects the barrel from trash entering the bore...This has worked for me for many years now..

BD,
Nice Sitka. I would love to slip back up there and hunt those "ghosts" again. The two bucks I harvested were double throat patched and yours looks the same. Are all the Sitka bucks you've seen on Kodiak double throat patched??
