[QUOTE="Memberberries, post: 1875297, member: 106647"] I would guess that the barrel being slightly crooked in the lathe would probably cause all the problems. Maybe a crooked shoulder and possibly even the threads too. There's a lot to be said for spending the extra minute dialing in a lathe. If it was a traditional barrel with a profile that had material to support having the end cut off and redone I would go for it but I don't think there's a lot to play with on a carbon fiber barrel. You could probably get the windage corrected by dialing in to a rod through the bore and push the shoulder back enough to line the pull in the up direction if you could live with that. Personally I couldn't bring myself to buy a gun with a poorly installed high dollar barrel unless it was really cheap and a proof cf barreled 28 nosler is on my short list. [/QUOTE]
