Mirage

Re the cloth, blue or any other color, not so far as I know, but then I never claimed to know everything. As to mirage, it's caused by heat shimmer, off the ground, and the breeze tending to "move" the rising shimmer. The mirage, as I recall, would "blow away" with not all that much breeze. While rifle barrels get quite hot after not all that much fireing, I never noticed mirage off the barrel.
 
The only thing that a cloth would deflect are the heat waves comming from a hot barrel. I have noticed this many times on reapeated firing at long ranges.

The baby blue, being the dominate color on a clear blue day with no clouds , might aid in asorbing reflected light , thus cutting down on the glare sometimes seen through a scope.

Sounds good in theory eh ?
