In reply to:
The right barrel shoots perfectly to both the open sights and the scope(of course). It's the left that seems more problematic.
The left barrel is not the problem.
The rifle is shooting seperate (crossed) groups and someone has aligned the sights to the right barrel.
What's happening is that the right barrel is shooting left of center and the left barrel is shooting right of center so in fact both barrels are equally "problematic".
In reply to:
The question is have it re-regulated and maybe lose this accuracy
If done properly re-regulation will not affect the accuracy of the individual barrel groups in any way but will bring the two groups together which will achieve a huge improvement in the overall accuracy of the rifle.
In reply to:
and have to re-blue the barrels as a result
Re-regulating can be done on some doubles with little damage to the blue and I have done several that way.
If the rifle is a show piece it will need to be reblued but if it is to be used in the field, and the regulator knows his job, it is possible to avoid a reblue.
Much depends on the construction of the barrels regarding how the foresight ramp is attached.(and other things)
If you are not 100% certain that you can do the job correctly yourself, give the gun to someone who has proven that they can.
Anyone can put flame to a barrel set and watch the solder melt and hit the floor!
It's getting all the solder/wedge/barrels/ribs/sights back where they should be and getting the barrels to shoot together and having a strong neat job at the end which makes the difference between a regulator and a lawn mower mechanic!
And definately regulate to the scope not the irons on a rifle of that caliber.
