Vet wrap on PRS and other rifles...

[bigfelipe]

So who does it? I believe it was @Zbizzle911 who posted it a few days ago and I asked about it. Made sense for protecting your scope. Some googling shows it is a popular way to camo your rifle or a removable base for spraying a different color...

I have some red vet tape and was playing around with it. Not sure... I imagine it would keep the gun cooler in the sun compared to black...

How many folks do it at competitions and such?

I didn't even know they made camo vet wrap. All ours is pink.

Amazon has any color or pattern imaginable lol

We have a supply from our vet. I literally had no idea people were using this stuff for firearms.

I didn't either until I was shooting my first PRS match. I saw several people with it on their scopes and thought it was to look tactical. On stage 4 my rifle fell off my cart and dinged the scope. Two guys I was shooting with said thats why they use it. Its especially helpful if shooting around concrete and other rough barricades. It just adds a level of protection for the finish on these expensive scopes.

I use it on AR mags during matches to quickly identify my 55gr from the 77gr stuff.

I also used it at times to create an index point for cheek weld on shotgun - cause i sucks the shotgun.

There’s similar wraps available at most sporting stores that only stick to themself and not the firearm. Mostly Camo but I have seen OD as well. I wrap the barrels of my stainless hunting rifles to avoid unwanted attention.

Hmm... first that I’ve heard of this. I might know where I can score some vet wrap too...

The vet tape only sticks to itself also.

So are folks having fun with it or are they all going tactical with it?

Had it on this one for several years.

I have used this brand on several shotguns in the past with no issues...I removed it after the season, so it was normally on for 3-4 months and never any residue when removed.

I use Royal blue and a bright yellow on AR mags. Super easy to find dropped mags and quickly ID different loads.

My Tikka mags don't stick out enough for that, sadly...

At $90/ea, my Tikka mags get wrapped in a cashmere diaper and placed gently in a locked Pelican case.

Lol just be careful. Some of them have chew stop made into it. Not very pleasant to experience

I don't chew on my rifle... usually...

 

[bigfelipe]

Yeah, but some of us like to lick our fingers after a particularly good range sessions to get our recommended dose of heavy metals and carbon.

Well it could help you break bad habits then... Win win...

Yeah but folks have been know to try to tear it with their teeth if one hand is full.
