If the only thing that's changed is the barrel, it's the barrel.
Where did the old one shoot? |

Get someone else to shoot it just to make sure.If it is the barrel, call Remington (1-800-243-9700) and talk to them.

You didn't buy one of those shotguns from a "Tom and Jerrry" cartoon that shoots around corners did you?

i figured out why my 870 was shooting a little off center inoticed my bead sight wasnt straight up it was tilted to the left a little when i loosened the magcap the barrel kinda shifted back where the bead was now straight up i had twisted the barrel a little when i tightened my magcap i had my fingers around the barrel and cap causing the barrel to be tilted a little i tightened the cap back just snug by just holding just the cap and not putting any pressure on the barrel accidently with my fingers or thumb i guess this makes sense/ live and learn i always say/ now it shoots straight
