I shoot straight on a rifle when the front and rear sights do not appear to be aligned. When they are aligned (according to my eyes), it hits about 2 inches to the right at 50 yards. If I move the rear aperture sight (windage adjustment) left, then the shots start moving towards the bullseye.
So, when I'm hitting near bullseye in terms of windage, looking at the rear aperture, it visibly looks off the center of the barrel. The front sight, to the best of my knowledge, is pretty centered.
Is it possible for a barrel to just not shoot straight consistently? Or is this more likely to be a user error (i.e. me flinching)? The issue seems to be more exacerbated on a certain rifle than others but I don't have enough data to know that for sure.
