A curvature in the shaft is normal and is generally caused by excessive scar tissue on one side, try taking some Vitamin E to heal some of the damaged tissue.

Now if it's not the Sniper that's curved, you may be speaking of a sniper rifle, in which case, check your bucking and clean your barrel.

Better yet, try not shooting the replica while it's tilted to the right. Your hop-up bucking, provided it is properly centered (and I'm betting that it is), will put backspin on the bb that allows it to shoot straighter, further. If your replica is tilted slightly to either side, your shot will curve that direction.

So hold your gun straight next time. If it's still shooting to the right, tilt the gun further to the left. When it shoots straight, it's no longer tilted.

Well, uh... Yes, that will happen.

I have the SD 700 as well and it does the same thing. Seems it's a normal thing for the rifle but there are accounts that it will straighten up on it's own after it's broken in alittle. Mine has straightened up somewhat but I still have the occassional one that veers off.

I love you Amos.

Edit: On a serious note:

Sounds to me that the end of your inner barrel could have been damaged when it was being drilled. That little bit of damage to the muzzle of the barrel will cause the bb's to fly off in one direction and in this case the right. Buy a new barrel for that thing.
