Cutting down savage 223rem barrel

[pabst_20]

i have a savage axis .223 rem that has a 22" barrel, i am cutting it down to a 20" but i am wanting to know what type of crown would promote the most accuracy.

11* target crowns are pretty traditional from and accuracy stand point. Personally i dont think it matters all that much, as long as it concentric.

I'd do a recessed target crown.

Is zero crown any good.

As in flat? It works fine, but dosent offer any protection to your rifling. A ding on the muzzel of your barrel can ruin your day. Id atleast use an 11* crown, or recess it.
