So first I used the hydraulic press to get it straight enough to see through the bore.
Then moved to the fly press and got it straight to my eye.
Took it to Mr Vulcan Barrels to se if his digitally calibrated eye agreed and yes it was straight.
Went back to mates and shot perfectly and saved a complete rebarrel

So if there was anyone remotely skilled at the retailer it would take less the 5 minutes to straighten a barrel like that

They've clarified in the comments that the barrel is also bulged.

I'm not complaining about the right being sold, more interested in the individual who created this monstrosity.
