Question is, how did YOU miss it when you bought the gun?

The barrel is rotated. Just clamp the wooden stock into a vice as tight as you can get...with cheater bar. Put a pipe wrench on the barrel and beat it with a hammer till it’s rotated back straight and the tack it to the receiver. Easy fix smile


When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.

There is a guy on Youtube with a purdy good rant on this subject and how customer service treated him on the backside.

Maybe and maybe not I was just in a gun shop over the weekend and looked at several of the Ruger American rifles all had preinstalled sight bases and the first thing I noticed was every one of them was off-centered and tilted to the left

I guess it doesn’t matter much because you could just tilt the scope the needed bit to level the crosshairs but it just bugs me to see it

a 10/22 on the used rack at Cabelas last year the rear sight dove tail was about 15* canted

it happens all over the place

it should get caught and sent back as soon as the dealer inspects the gun at receiving.
