[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3337736, member: 41653"] I think the mention of loosening the barrel bands is something to pursue. I had a 1930 Izzy 91/30, since sold, with a similar problem. It was shooting so far right, that at 100 yds the front sight was adjusted so far as to be in danger of falling off the barrel. I eventually figured out that the barrel was in a bind, and pulled the action from the stock. I could see marks on the barrel where it had been rubbing. I took a dowel (actually a deepwell socket) of the correct diameter, wrapped sandpaper around it, and spent an hour doing some sanding. Once I got the barrel where it wasn't being pushed around by the forearm or stock, the rifle started behaving better. Something to look at, anyway. [/QUOTE]
