    Don't do it.
    Get some DPM or Flecktarn (an old shirt will do)
    Cut roughly to size and attach with elastic bands. (Your friendly postie will provide the bands for free.... usually by the bushes in front of your doorstep)

    I've seen an AAS400K ruined by sticky camo tape.....horrible.
    Has the added advantage of being easy to remove to clean and for when you want it to look llike a proper sporter instaed of a military sniper clone too.

    I'll post a pic of my AA410K when I get home later tonight.

    As Pete said, usually use scrim if anything, and even then just on the shiny bits.

    I have got no mar on my silencer, but it aint going anywhere near anything blued
    I'm a maggot in another life you know

    I cut up one of those cammo gun socks,front end slips over the barrel & buddy bottle,middle section cuts in two & fit's over the scope,stock bit obviously fit's the stock.I'm left with a small bit of wood where the trigger is also the mag & cocking bolt.Sorted.

    The scrim/gunsock idea is also superior to a hydrographics job in that it takes away all shine and reflection from the rifle. Half the battle is to make it as dull and not like a rifle as possible. Hydrographics look superb, but they still look like a rifle and still reflect shine.

    I have recently used this camo tape on an old guns action and barrel .

    I very carefully stuck it down and cut once roughly in place . After I was happy with the effect I finished it off with matt laquer which finished it off nicely and kept it waterproof .

    The rifle was not in good order ...... would I use it on a new gun , NO ! But good results can be achieved
