Scope / Scar
OK, another issue from my newly mounted scope on my BP.
Directly above the primer location on the tube of the scope I see a pretty nasty scar / burn from the primmer smoke/heat. Is their anything I can do th prevent this from getting worse?
I have probably only shot 10-12 shots since the scope was mounted and it looks nasty. I want to protect it so it lasts, any suggestions?

RE: Scope / Scar
Thanks Kevin1.
I didn't even think about this until after shooting the other day and noticing the spot on the scope.
I will pick up some leather and fashion an outfit for it.

Try and clean that residue off, use hot water and tooth brush then hit it with some light gun oil.
Mine are made out of a neoprene glove I had lost the match too, just cut it to fit, put 2 slits for scope caps( making adjustments) and zip tie on.

I use electrical tape and then you can wipe it off after each shooting session.
I finally broke down and bought a Butler Creek scope protector.. what a piece of junk. It was on sale and would have costed me more to send it back to them then I paid for it. First time I tried tp put it on the scope, the strap tore. Not only that, it must have been made for a very small scope as it hardly reaches around some of mine...
