I would think it would be better to slide a sock type cover over it.

I have been useing that cloth camo tape on my Rem 760 barrel & receiver for years ( I change it about every three years because it gets dirty but there have been no accuracy problems whatsoever. I also like the side benefit of it being waterproof.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.
