sidelock scope damage
I recently put a scope on my Renegade and the blow back has left a white film on the scope. I cleaned as much as i could off with steel wool but i still have the film in the cracks and crevices. How much should I worry about the film it is leaving. I have cleaned it with soap and water with toothbrush. I also changed nipple to stop the blow back but have not verified it yet. I have considered wrapping the scope with camo duck tape but am really unsure about this move.

This is also what I did, after mine started getting small marks on it, and it works great. This seems to be the best solution I've found, although I'm also shooting an inline, not a side lock, but it still will work.

When I shot my side lock with a scope on it for the first time I was more concerned with the blow back around and under the scope base. I took the base off and it was filthy underneath it. Is there anything that can be done to resolve this issue?
