Hello everyone. I have been lurking around here for a while and done a lot of reading. A wealth of knowledge is in these pages. I've learned a lot. But, I have a problem that I don't know how to correct and haven't seen anything written here about it.
I just came into possession of a Navy arms 12 ga SxS shotgun. According to the date code it was made in 1979. It is choked cylinder and cylinder. I have worked up a load for it in both barrels for turkey hunting this spring. But, there is a catch. At 30 yards, it shoots the center of the pattern about 7-8 inches to the left. That's with both barrels. Not quite sure how or if it can be corrected.
My load for this shotgun is 80 gr of 2F Goex, a 1/4 inch felt wad, 1 3/8 of copper plated 6's, and an over shot card. It will not have any problem taking a tom out to 30 yards. If I can remember to aim just a little right.
I am pretty handy with my hands if a fix can be found. I have been a custom knife maker for the last 22 years. I have a full machine shop here at home. Not much I can't do. Just not sure which way to attack this.
Does anyone have any suggestions for getting it to shoot a little bit to the right?
