Is there any saving a barrel with an off axis chamber?

[QUOTE="Monteria, post: 2820277, member: 115565"] I got a prefit barrel (2nd hand, so there was no sending it back) that I really like, except that the chamber was cut off axis. With a bore scope, I can see that the lands are not concentric. It's currently chambered for 6.5 creedmoor. Is there any chance of saving it by reaming to a longer cartridge? 260AAR or 6.5-06 imp would certainly clean up the existing chamber and cut a new leade. But will the reamer just follow the old chamber, or can the barrel be saved? [/QUOTE]
