Howdy! I got a rifled slug barrel with open sights for my 12 gauge
Mossberg
835. I took it to the rifle range and it seemed to shoot to the right and down from where you are aiming (target bullseye). The gunshop put another back sight on it; however, there was not much improvement. Has anyone had any similar problems? Any suggestions for fixing it? I would appreciate your views.
Always, Gene

Lacking a first hand examination I'd look for two things:
One is that the choke threads in the barrel were not put in straight. Have
you tried other chokes to see where they are patterning? If they are all
doing the same thing that suggests the barrel is the problem. A fix for this would be a custom choke tube that is intentionally machined to shift the
point of impact to match the point of aim... or have the barrel replaced by Mossberg.
If the barrel seems OK the other possibility is that the extra full choke
was not manufactured properly. Either the threads are not on straight or the bore/choke was not milled straight. I'd try another extra full choke to see
how it works.
