The recessed crown will give you more protection from getting it dinged up, but I believe the 11 degree target crown will give you more accuracy. You will get a better crown with either if you get it cut in a lathe before you mount it on the action. Your smith can put the muzzel in a center, turn the muzzel perfectly consintric with the bore, then run a steady rest on the true part of the barrel and cut the crown without putting a pilot in the bore, Makes the most perfect crown you can get on a barrel.
