Have you ever tried to actually sight in the gun? You know adjust it 5ft back at the range then go hunting?

Geeeeeeeeeez if Remington is the best gun why are you shooting a Browning? Are you speaking with a forked tongue?

Sorry that you had the bad luck, should have bough a remington. Have you contacted browing or talked with the dealer that you bought the gun from?

On second thought, until you learn some respect for others here, you're not worthy of my advice or that of anyone else here, IMO.

Better just borrow your cousins .22-250, it's good out to 900 yards on deer, remember. You said so yourself. Maybe you could have him help you sight your Browning in since you apparently can't handle it yourself. [:@]

Yes when looking thru the barrel from the muzzle end the last few inches ie the chamber is generally not rifled:D

Check OldElkhunters post "My Last Remington" You see why we're down on this ( using his own words) idiot.He appears to be a smart A$$ed punk with no respect for his elders.Lucky I'm not a moderator on this site. If I were he'd be in the history book with under 10 posts.The870 you have to earn respect to get respect.

That's right

The fun part about this is that I know the answer to your problem. The great part about this is that I don't have to share it with your punk a$$!![:'(][:o]:)

There's not a gun company in business that hasn't let a 'problem child' slip by QC. Although some do more than others. I have quite a few A-Bolt's, one acquired today as a matter of fact, and I have a lot of love those rifles. I've never seen one that didn't shoot quite well. Call Browning.....assuming it's the rifle that is.:)

RE: to idahoelkinstructor
 
Years ago i bought a 22 that shot far to the right. Other than putting the barrel in the fork of a tree and pulling to the left i did not know what to do. So i took the gun back. If there was a fix i and probably others would like to know. please.

Dont offer this guy any real advise. Hes trolling.

Trying to bring down a superb firearm.

Agreed, Browning's (even though now made in Japan :() are far from junk.

RE: This cant happen to meeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
 
Only trolling for advice. I even asked nice.
Browning makes quality firearms. Wished I owned one.

They're not talking to you hornet, they're talking about The870.

To answer your question, it might be a bent barrel, the sights were installed off center or if scoped the bases/rings could out of alignment with the bore axis. Only a gunsmith could answer that if the problem wasn't obvious. Since you no longer have the gun its a moot topic anyway.

one more possibility ... the screws for the scope mounts were tapped crooked throwing off the scope barrel alignment.
