I have a 1975 Mossberg 500 A/T 12 gauge. I purchased a 28" Ribbed screw-in choke barrel about 1985 for it.
I took it out this past weekend to pattern it for the upcoming Turkey hunt in NH and found it patterns about 16" at 30 yards...BUT it shoots low and right by about 8". I don't want to do anything with it until after the Turkey hunt...I'll just compensate til then.
But...what is the recommended method to get POA and POI closer. Can the barrel be "bent" slightly to compensate for this?
What would be the recommended method to do this?
Could an extended choke (new this season) cause a shift? I've never noticed it before and I will check it out with another choke just as a verification...but everything points to the barrel being bent...well...I'd like to know what I can do about it.
