[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1919552, member: 26227"] I have heard of this problem but this is the first time with a Proof Research barrel. I have seen it with factory Rems, Weatherbys, Howas, once with a Winchester that was rebarreled, a certain vintage of Savage.. but a Proof Research.. not until now. as I remember the two guns that I saw with this problem; one was a buggy whip, the other was a magnum profile. the buggy whip was just tempered wrong (cold places and hot places) it showed some unusual metallurgy that made it dangerous to shoot.. the magnum was hard in one place and when it cooled the barrel bent, as it was shot the hard place heated up and straightened out. all I can say for sure is I have questions.. lots of them. the first is if it is consistently 2" to the right then it starts shooting.. that lends itself to a barrel that has either a hard spot or soft spot on one side of the barrel. soft spot left side, hard spot right side. next question is have you called Proof and told them? they might have some insight on this problem. next, well the next set of questions to be asked; first we must have an answers to the first two before going on.
