savage model 24v-a accuracy

pphillips
Using the rifle sights, I get about 10 inches difference between the impact point of the .222 rifle and the 20 gauge shotgun. This is at 25 yards. The gap between the rifle and 20 gauge barrel is 3/64 inch greater at the barrel band than at the receiver. Can anyone suggest what I might do to improve the accuracy of this combination?

Thanks,

Phil Phillips

    No.1 Try different weight bullets in the rifle.
    No.2 In any combo gun except a Valmet 412 type you are stuck with what you get even high grade double rifles only shoot to the same point of impact with both barrels with one weight of bullet and VEL. and at one distance. with the valmet it has 2 tapered blocks you can move to adjust.

    I have the exact same firearm with the exact same problem, maybe worse. It would appear that by fiddling with the barrel band and perhaps using shims, something could be done, but how I don't know and I haven't tried. Doing it professionally and not the "booger" way is preferred.

    I've just made the mental adjustment that the scattershot is low and to the left. If you figure it out post up for me.[:D]

    I think I have figured it out with a hot flash this morning. I sight the rifle the normal way using the small nitch in the sight. With the shotgun, I line up the front sight with the top of the front sight notch. This seems to have solved the problem, as well as making the shotgun sighting much faster. Hope this helps others.

    Thanks for the replies,
