Title: Stainless barrel
Post by: tluns on September 25, 2014, 09:15:20 PM: About ready to head out for my Margaret muzzleloader bull tag. I have a Knight Bighorn with the matte stainless barrel. Any thoughts on whether I should wrap that with camo tape?

It looked like a light saber walking down the hill. I'm sure most of the time it's not noticed, but I started worring about that once in a while time that my animal of a lifetime might see the barrel before I see him. I have wrapped my barrel in camo tape ever since that hunt, can't tell you if it makes a difference but it makes me feel better. Very cheap as well, doesn't hurt. Best of luck on your hunt!
