Howdy fellows. My question is how do yall keep the scope clean? I shoot musket caps and it just burns the finish right off of the scope. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I have a piece of leather cut and zip tied around the bottom of the scope on a couple but most I just use black electrical tape and tape the scope.

Mike, what material is that?

Probably old bicycle inner tube and the other one leather

Wasn't sure, always wanted to try the inner tube myself, but my grandkids would kill me if I took it off one of their bikes. LOL Currently I've been using the one TC sells and Black Electrical Tape. Both work fine

I’ve used the inner tube and leather but I personally prefer black electrical tape so that what I mostly do now

I have a leather scope cover that goes around the scope above the primer area and fastens with velco. Works fine, protects the scope and comes off when not needed. Unfortunately I bought it years ago and I don't remember the maker.

I think that first one is either a piece of an old camo flannel shirt or moleskin. I use either rubber sheeting or some scraps of Marine vinyl or Naugahyde (fake leather).

Thank you for the replies. I think wrapping is a good solution. I found out the hard way not to try to steady the gun by resting my hand on top of the scope. Stupid hurts! LOL.

Ed, actually it is not the best material in the world for this. I was just old piece of flannel camo cloth. But it works. It is singed on the bottom but has not burned all the way through yet.
