Hey all.
I've recently got my Rem 700 back with its new barrel fitted.
Taken it out to the range and during normal wear and tear the "all singing, all dancing" barrel coating has started chipping off at the first sign of the slightest rub. It's left the shiny silver of the barrel showing.
It's a shame as it looked pretty good (scope has changed from the one in the pic).
I'm military and my mates are encouraging me to cam it up as our snipers do with their AW338s. If it was a work rifle I wouldn't even hesitate but this is MY baby... Different story.
Question... Our snipers use flat green fabric "sniper tape" to tape up the barrel and optic prior to painting.
Has anyone else done this etc?
Thanks
