The left barrel of a new to me double throws the pattern right so far that at 21 yards my aim point wasn't in the spread. If you have run across it, have you been able to bring back to center by honing the chokes?

New to you....were there owners before you that couldve possibly had a choke cut off center? The only times Ive ever seen 1 barrel that badly regulated the choke was cut eccentric/irregularly. Cant say Ive ever seen a factory untouched gun with one barrel that badly regulated.
Barrel smiths can correct a badly cut choke in a barrel, Briley did this for a friends guns a decade or so ago.

What is it?
Screw in chokes?
Barrel length?
Chamber length?
etc?

1906 Scot sxs with 29" damascus barrels. It has slightly more drop and cast than my favorite but I hit cosnsistently with right barrel and miss too often with left. I took it to patterning board and took steady aim. I suspect someone altered choke without having alignment tool to center cutter.

I had a Remington FE trap that had the right choke badly gouged sometime in it's past. It was 1/2 pattern to the right. It looked like the tool got sideways.

Dean at Skeet's brought the pattern completely center while maintaining plenty of choke.
The FE is a damn sure doubles gun now.

I've patterned S X Ss that were not regulated. One barrel, both barrels, but never just one barrel that was off that much. I talked with Dean at Skeet's about this just this year. He told me it was extremely doubtful that he could move a pattern that much (8" at 20 yds.) by his method of honing by hand.

Friends had this problem with Kolar o/u shot guns. A young lady was AA in three gauges and C in 410. Kolar argued like a CPA protecting the balance sheet but they ultamatly fixed it. A fellow at our club had the same problem. LP'S dad must have shot our pattern plate 100 times befor they replaced it. It is worth checking.

Decades ago I had a flat of the Eley Hawk subsonic loads that I thought would be good for my 4-weight barrel B-Grade Ansley H. Fox. Not so. While the right barrel shot fine, the left barrel threw the sub-sonic load way off. Switching to my 1200 fps reloads both barrels shot fine.

I'd try an ammo change.
