I bought a S&W 29-10 and after one week took it out to the range and the barrel is canted to the right put a box of 44 magnum 240 grain loads through her and it shoots great and when I got home I called S&W about my problem and was told that a canted barrel is normal.I do not think so and she is headed back to S&W for repair and I hope to get it back fixed.
