    Hi, anybody use flocking paper in their scope? Does it make any difference?

    If I wanted to get my hands on some, anyone around have any excess they want to sell?

    Best regards,
    Martin

    Some call it flocking paper, others flocked paper.

    seanie,
    is it not black paper you put along the inside of a scope so you don't get any internal reflections?.
