Aww Gandalf mate, I think you maybe took what i was saying the wrong way - I weren't being funny or owt. All i was meaning was to give a friendly viewpoint and a hopefully useful suggestion, with regards to the scrim net for scope and rifle, that would help you sort of meld with the background, like?
No offence intended chap.
With the scope and sticky tape - your choice entirely mate, was just thinking ahead to the future when say, you might wish to sell it on? If that were for instance to happen, then the cleaner it is, the better for you and the price you'd get bud.
