[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 980657, member: 2736"] I have seen and been involved in this debate many times and like many have an opinion and no real proof that a perfect crown is a must. So these are my thoughts on this subject based on over 50 years of shooting. The first though would be "Why Not Have a good/perfect crown". A really accurate rifle is the culmination of all parts and workmanship being as good as possible. None of the test performed are conclusive in my opinion because they depend on the conditions to be the same and the shooter being perfect every shot. I have shot untold numbers of groups and have never exactly duplicated the same group even with the same rifle and load. Bench rest shooters are the most likely to do this because they shoot slow and have very little contact with the rifle, eliminating much of the shooter error. And you will never see a bad crown on one of there rifles. In this game we expect our rifles to shoot 1/4 moa or less in order to be consistently accurate at great distances. We know and deal with our skills and rely on the rifle to bail us out if we don't perform perfectly every time so we go to great lengths to have the best rifle, ammo, conditions and practice as much as possible in order to feel confident we have done everything possible. Poor workmanship or defects do not instill confidence in most of us and even though some things may not matter that much if you know they could be better, they may cause doubt and lower performance/end results. So, is a good crown that important ? In My Opinion, Everything is important and should be as good as possible, and as we all know the crown is the last thing the bullet is influenced by so why not have a good one and not take a chance and loose any accuracy and have doubts. To me, It is not a question of whether or not it is important, but a question of how much effect it has on the overall accuracy potential. So why not eliminate as many doubts as possible and have a good crown on your rifle. If you order a custom rifle built and the rifle came in with a bad crown, would you just say or except the gunsmiths answer "It doesn't matter how the crown looks, it will shoot fine" I DON"T THINK SO. Why settle for less. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
