I am looking for something to protect my scope and am looking for the best option. I searched and all the threads I can find are quite old so I wanted to see if there was anything new out there?

Yeah I'm just using the self adhesive bandage wrap from the pharmacy. I went the McNett Camo Form route a couple of times but personally I don't think they're worth the money for what you get.
If you use the self adhesive wrap... in particular camo bow wrap on a scope or rifle ... Don't leave it on for an extended time... particularly when it gets hot out west. Otherwise, you'll have a helluva cleanup job ahead of you. Sadly personal experience on a varmint gun.
As @6.5SH said, unlimited budget Scope Chaps
on a budget (and it just plain works really well) try 3M Vetrap.

A roll of 4"/100mm wide Vetrap fully wraps front and rear of scope and protects it really well.
3M brand does not brek down and get sticky like cheap camo stuff of fleaBay etc

I was looking at a roll of this stuff
Not sure if its any good, but seems well reviewed.

19.99 on amazon 3'' wide 30 ft long roll skate board tape for that 60 grit sand paper feel . you could also try and look at vinyl wraps no so different than those used on cars .

That's the stuff I've used in the past, skip it, and get normal self adhesive wrap. The Mcnett/Gear Aid stuff get sticky, leaves a residue, and starts to unravel over time. To me, the only thing it has going for it are the camo patterns.
Thanks for the heads up. I got some black and hunter green 3M Vetrap coming. I figure if it's on my rifle and I ever need a splint, that's not a bad thing to have around.
I ordered some Brown cohesive bandage off of Amazon to try out, it's not a weird camo color and darker than the typical cohesive bandage so hopefully it will work out. Worst case scenario is that I order some black. I saw the Hunter Green vet wrap but I'd like to see it on something in normal light.
I thought the best was a Fueled by hornady sticker. You must be holding out on us.
Ok....is that to wear to keep the sand out in case the scope gets dinged up or does it go on the scope to protect it? Asking for a friend.
Nah that's just to fill up some space but do take some bumps. They are cool though. LOL
