    I dont think it is a rifle fault, as you described moving the target over ....you are almost on the right track here, I think the targets need to be the other way around.
    I would try posting on one of the US forums they may be able to give you better info. These ideas of bending with a bull bar are just a little too erratic for the accuracy you want to achieve.
    Gibo has the right approach with a more technical bit of kit though.

    Get your boyfriend to squeeze the right one just a little bit harder, you’ll be fine.

    Everyone is overcomplicating this for you, It is clear to me that you are simply one step too far to the left. And your are potentially 1 inch too short to be shooting at this particular target.

    This is quite obviously a simple case of `tongue out of wrong side of mouth`

    so you think they are putting horse shit in the decafe soy latte?????? yip that would DEFINATELY cause some sort of error in the way your barrel is dangling!!!!

    time to change shops to find one that serves just a regular latte...no soy,no decafe and definately no horse shit!!!!! that would just about be enough to make you take up drinking milo.

    Use your other eye, it will change your point of aim and alter your parralax.

    You obviously got the model for shooting targets moving right to left. Turn rifle up the other way if running left to right.

    You may also want to take the rifle to a gunsmith to get the barrel cut 2" longer.

    Yours might also have barrel strain from being shot at targets too far away.

    That would account for the groupings off to the left. Barrels never stretch evenly once they do let go.

    Get a borescope and look for stretchmarks inside the barrel.
