[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 824891, member: 35183"] You definitely want the threads protected and the crown needs to be protected too. It is a bit odd to get a barrel brand new with no thread protector. Usually it is in the scope of delivery. I personally prefer a recessed target crown since it is harder to damage the crown on one of those than with a "regular" target crown. Of course one needs to exercise particular care when cleaning the bore to not damage the crown or the throat. The throat is easily taken care of with a guide that slips in the action, but protecting the crown is not so easy since the muzzle tends to be non standardized. [/QUOTE]
