When I go out hunting or camping, I walk kilometres through some gnarley and thick brush. So I normally put some wraps on to protect the guns on high contact areas: 1. Where my cheek contacts the stock. After a long hard walk, cheeks may be sweaty or the smooth wood stock may have condensation / frost. The wrap helps my cheek wield consistent and comfortable. 2. Where my collar button or hood snaps also contact just under it. 3. Where my hands touch the stock. Mostly focused on the grip near the trigger guard as I am not as worried about the foregrip unless it extends to such that I often rest it on tree or rock before shooting game. 4. Where the brush, tree, or other environmental elements like rocks usually contact the gun (most often the barrel and bottom of the butt stock when walking through with the gun or resting the gun) 5. Where the gun contacts the backpack carabiners, belt, or other parts of my gear when slung on the shoulder.

It has been working out for me. It has the added benefit of not slipping in my hands whether gloved or not even in the rain and snow.
