Does anyone here have first hand experience with hiring a 'smith to move the point of impact on a fixed choke doublegun's barrels? I have a double that has .008" choke in each barrel, but "cross shoots" .......i.e., the right barrel prints 2/3 of the pattern to the left of the point of aim, and the left barrel prints 2/3 of the pattern to the right of the point of aim. Elevation is perfect on both barrels. It does this at game shooting ranges (20-25 yards, for a .410), and does so with several different loadings. No question, it is the barrels themselves that are not perfectly regulated, and not shooter error. It has been checked on different days under differing lighting conditions with the same results everytime.
How much total choke would you expect to lose in having the muzzle honed to move those patterns enough to center them? More than .002"?
I plan to call Mike Orlen about it tomorrow afternoon, but would like to hear from anyone who has ever had this issue corrected.
