    I have a rifle I built several years ago going to a smith for some cosmetic work and was going to get him to touch up the crown while he had it. What type of crown do I want? I have had good luck with recessed crowns but wanted some more ideas.

    Agree that symmetry is far more important than style.

    I like a recessed crown for protection. Lately, my favorite has been the 11° target crown, recessed via a thread protector.
