It didn't take me long to realize after I got it that a 24" varmint weight barrel (.920" at the gas block) is just a monster to do anything but benchresting with.  I am finally to the point where I am going to let ADCO cut it down to 18".  I would have done it sooner, but I hate messing with a barrel/rifle that shoots 1" groups at 200 yards (best to date 7/8").  But I'll be 64 years old on my next birthday and I just don't want to lug this brute around...not even from the truck to the shooting bench.

My question is a two-part one. 1.) What crown angle does ADCO use when crowning barrels, and 2.) what angle is considered best for accuracy?

I don't mind losing a little bit of accuracy as the trade-off for improving the weight/handling, but I'd still like it to be as accurate as possible.

I'm going to post this in the industry forum as well, but still would like to hear some knowledge from the members.
