Yes I did crown it, note the brass screw chucked in the hand drill. Alittle valve griding compound and some time and it looks pretty good.

It was good enough to hit a chest sized target at 100 yrds and golf balls (with a .22 kit) at 25 but IMHO a proper crown job should really improve that. I'm trying to find somebody locally that has a 11 degree reamer. Worse comes to worse I'll just buy the tools.

I confess i did wonder what that was in the shot for.

! Your probably right about the 11 degree crown. Chrono if you get a chance. Inquiring minds want to know

Get you one of these. Its a Brownells 79* reamer with a 1/4X20 T handle and brass bore pilot. This is set up with a .22C pilot for .22 centerfire. They sell 2 sizes. This is the big 3/4" one. You can order one from brownells and have it in 3 days for about 100 bucks for everything you see here. I have crowned about 20 barrels with this one and it is still very sharp. Just use good cutting oil.

I'm a little concerned with the mounting of your rifle on that motorbike. You have it right over the tire where a lot of road debris will be thrown right up the barrel. If something gets up there that you can't see, you could have a barrel burst from an obstruction. You might want to consider a mud or dirt deflector over that section of your front tire. Just something to think about.
