Can you guys share some ways you put scope dope on your rifle

I just rescoped my Belgara 450 and I have a few notes I feel are important I would always like to have close to look at

What do you do when you record your info on your rifle?

Synthetic stock so durable but I don’t want to permently alter it

Today this Meopta is just awesome but I do change at times

Clear tape over a notecard, cut to whatever size I need, on the left side of the butt stock.

This, exactly. It's what I do on both my deer rifle and my competition service rifle.

I have been doing the same thing for years, it works fine.

If you ever remove it and there is tape residue just a bit of cooking oil on a cloth will remove it easily and does not do any damage to the stock (wood or synthetic).

Thanks to all
Is there any particular tape that works best?

Sounds like just what I need

Hank
I use clear packing tape. Comes in approx. 2 inch wide rolls

Likewise. My preferred is Duck Tape EZStart. I get it at Wal Mart and use it for all my shipping, storage, packing and dope card needs. It is very clear and very strong.

I tend to put 1K DOPE or to the platform's Transonic Slip,in scope ocular. Then there's more finite DOPE on the stock. Hint.

I tend to default to RITR paper,unless I'm laminating. Hint.

I use white Gorilla Tape on my scope occular and write on it with a fine point sharpie.

Been doing double-sided carpet tape, then trimmed index card-stock trimmed slightly undersized of that, and then clear packing tape over that, overlapping the works. Bonds very well.

More tape please! Freaking moron...
Posted By: Big Stick Re: Scope dope on your rifle - 11/04/22
It is fascinatingly HILARIOUS,that there are those who can't afford their own roll of tape,as they wax eloquent upon how Imitation is THE most Sincere form of Flattery. Hint.

I put yardage, drops, and 10mph windage in an excel spreadsheet, alternate background colors on rows, size font and column widths as needed and print it. Clear tape it on both sides to laminate, then tape it to the stock with gorilla tape on the outer edges. I prefer it on the right side of my stock with columns running from grip to butt direction (rows top to bottom of stock). I tilt the stock to read it...it's been a little easier for me to read than pulling my head away if it's on the left side...and it keeps my stubble out of the tape.

It’s not hard to print a drop chart from JBM Ballistics for your load and laminate it, attach it to your rifle how you see fit.

I find the dope chart easier to read when it is on the RF itself.

I make a dope chart in Word, scale it to the size I want, print it out, and plaster it to the side of the RF with clear packing tape. It is super easy to do. Since my dope charts are saved on the computer, I can easily replace the chart as I change rifles.

Hmmm, Shinbone... hadn't thought about attaching it to the rangefinder. That's a good option. I'll have to give that some serious consideration!

It won't do Hank any good being in Michigan but Academy stocks a decent selection of RITR products.

Did that on an antelope hunt several years ago. Worked slick.
Hey Big Stick, congratulations on your grandchild.

Wishing you all the best.

Take care.

Also have seen Velcro backed dope card carriers that could attach to a stock pack like a Triad or such.

I do the packing tape on the left side so I can roll the rifle and look. Eye's aren't what they used to be so 12 font:
