i have a nice old Ruger model 44 that shoots two feet to the right at fifty yards with the iron sights at full deflection. Has anyone ever encountered this? I would love to be able to fixt his.
What kind of rear sight is it? Google is showing me a semi-buckhorn rear in a dovetail on the barrel, or some sort or rear aperture sight mounted on the receiver. Which do you have?
Shooting 2 feet (24") right at 50 yards (1800"), if the sight radius is approximately 24", puts the front and rear sight alignment out from the barrel axis about 0.32".
Math: (24 ÷ 1800) x 24 = 0.32
So that's about 5/16". Drift the front to the right 5/32", and the rear to the left 5/32", and you'll probably be hitting much closer to POA.
That far out sure sounds like the barrel is bent. Pull the action out of the stock and hold the two sides of the barrel up against a good straight edge and likely you'll quickly see the problem.
Or the crown is really badly damaged or was re-crowned very poorly.
ive learned this many years ago. you never ever rest the revolver on a rest, you rest your arm on the rest holding the revolver. i forget who taught me that. a couple guns that ive come across that shot that far off, their was a bad muzzle crown on it and recrowning it solved the problem. im watching this one, want to see how it turns out.
