[QUOTE="FiftyYardZero, post: 978346, member: 77997"] Thanks, everyone, for the replies and the linked article! Based on the responses, I think I'm going to leave well enough alone until I have a significant reason to recrown the barrel. If it ain't broke... As for how the gun shoots now, the truth is that I haven't been able to spend enough quality time at the range with it to really know what it can do. My old rifle decided it was time to retire in the middle of the season last year and I had to rush to get this gun and get it set up in time for a rapidly approaching hog hunt. So, basically, I was only able to get the scope on it and make sure it was "good enough". -- If I remember correctly, it was shooting somewhere around a 2" group at 100 yards with some 165gr Sierra GameKing handloads that my Dad was shooting at the time. I'm going to start working up a load specifically for this gun in a couple of weeks, so I'll be able to see how it really performs then. I just wanted to get some input on the crown before I get started in case the consensus opinion was that it needed to be fixed. I'll post a better assessment of how it shoots after I get a load worked up in case anyone is interested. Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
