Bush FIX for a damaged Crown.
See the pictures in Post #3.I assume when you say "recessed" crown you mean a typical factory crown that is rounded over. I've had a couple of rifles that didn't shoot well until I put an 11 degree target crown on them. I don't think the type of crown was an issue, but that the crown was not concentric. I don't care for the recessed crowns. I don't think they protect the end of the barrel any better than a target crown. Additionally, they make it more difficult to assess damage to the crown so that the problem can be addressed.
Probably like a lot of other random things in this world. Someone did it once, it worked well and they told everyone else that it was better and everyone else believed them.I've always wondered where 11° came from. Why not 10° or 12°? Why is 11° such a magical number and who came up with that?
