Camouflage Tape on Mod

I would definitely avoid using tape if you would be happy with a cover or something on it. Bad for holding moisture in and eating away at the mod. And as mentioned above, a lot of tape has a tendency to get very sticky or even set if it gets hot.
 
Get it wrapped as mods start to come off ticket won’t matter if gets a bit rusty just sling it and get another one.
 
I have my mod wrapped in green sniper tape.
Had no issues with corrosion at all. End of every season I remove the old by using wife’s hairdryer on it - that softens the glue and it unwraps easily. A few seconds with meths and a cloth and it’s glue free.
Replace old tape with new and start again. Been doing this 10 years +
 
Mine is wrapped in tape
Stops it dinging and helps not get it scratched for when I change it .

Not had any issues with any of mine
 
Roll a rubber Johnny over it…
If it can keep S#%NK in
It’ll keep rain out.
Don’t think they come in camo though.
 
Cloth or sniper tape as they call easy to put on and remove as said previously also if you have multiple mods for different calibre just write in marker pen so you always pick up the right one.

Think sniper tape is the one
 
I splashed out on a Praesidia fabric cover for mine, and don't regret it. Good padding against bashes, plus cuts down the heat shimmer if you're putting multiple shots through it i.e when zeroing.
 
Camo cohesive bandage (vet tape) works just fine. Only issue is dealing with moisture that get trapped against the mod and damages it.
Had it on my winny for a while and worked just fine.
 
I’ve spray painted ( smells when too hot)
Best is a cover - fancy heat resistant ones or just standard canvas (home made one )

And I’ve recently stuck tape on it - for only a few rounds it doesn’t get that hot and nail vanish remover or similar will remove the residue when it’s time to take it off.
 
I’m not a fan of bulky mod covers. I use a length of cycle inner tube over my mods to protect them and it’s also non reflective. Easy to take on and off when needed too.

Camo tape is a disaster as is shrink tubing, kills the likes of T8 mods due to rust

I have a well used T8 ! I have used it a great deal and it was one of the first Jackson brought in . Its like new ! What folks dont get is 1. take it off the rifle and let the can get to room temp and then spay a good water dispersant into the can from both ends.
You just missed doing this .
Very , very few folks had moderators when i bought one . I did however know loads of folks who struggled with rust - all due to condensation created when a cold gun comes into a warm home . The rust comes from the inside to the outside . Also burnt carbon within the moderator gets cleaned and a bit of protection is added during storage .
I Take moderators off the .22 LR guns as they come in the house and i never leave moderators on any gun in the safe ( indeed i put the mods in a different small safe . Soon i will not bother to put mods in any safe hopefully .

Not in this case the rust was between the tape/ shrink tube.

Yep I have 3 T8s and a T6(?) - all T8s have had many, many 6.5 and .308 through them over years of range days - no issues wotsoever. The smaller one has had maybe 10k of .222 through it - again no issues. Heavy buggers but if treated properly worthy of respect so I suspect the problem enjoyed by many is through nil/poor maintenance but open to correction of course…
