I wrap my junk.

Really I wrap the entire front end of my R25.

1. I keeps the rifle quiet as I move and position it while hunting. The aluminum FFT on the R25 is like a bell, even sliding a hand along it is loud. Many of my stands are metal and instead of covering every one of them in pipe insulation I wrap my rifle. This includes the barrel, when deer hunting barrel heat is not an issue.
2. The "soft sticks to itself" wrap I use cuts glare.
3. In the event of a field injury I have a handy source for bandage material. One less thing to go into the "go to bag".

Wrapping is an easy temp camo job...not expensive or hard to remove. Exactly what its intended to be...
Holy crap that's a lot of red!!!! ..you sacrifice a cow on it after the shot???

I don't own 1 gun that isn't either scratched or the bluing is wearing off from carrying it as a conceal carry gun. I know a lot of people who don't believe in popping a magazine in their pistol without pressing the mag release as they want to baby the gun. Sorry, it's a tool and if it's that precious I don't need it. Pop that magazine in and give it a swift tap to seat it.

Damn is it good to hear someone say this. I see so many people riding the charging handle or slide on their weapons at the range. It's not a club, but weapons are made by Tiffanys either.

I will say I looked into getting multicam applied to my long rifle. I've seen some photos of fielded weapons with it applied. They disappear. That's water transfer printing though, not tape.

i like the idea of temporary cammo, i can see how it may reduce the noise from blind hunting. But i also see how it could get snagged on brush while stalking. Whatever the case it seems to serve you well.

Amen to the post about scratches and wear on guns. I use all of my guns, not just shoot them. Some have pretty much been dragged across alot hard country, and they have the scars to show it. Scars give character and make a gun more interesting, imho.
