removing sticky gunk from scope tube

TommyKnocker · 2012-09-08 13:25:15

Purchased a scope for a rifle, but the previous owner had camo tape on the front of it. I want to remove the tape and just have a plain black scope again. Can I use white spirits or nail varnish removed to remove the sticky tape residue from the scope tube without also removing the black finish on the scope? Or is there…
