.22 Ruger wrangler

I bought a brand new in the box Ruger wrangler at a store
I'm 64 and I'll have to say its to the worst hitting pistol I've ever owned
Place a coke can at 30 ft, and it hits 8" to the left and mostly a couple ft low with the top of the front site even with the rear groove
Shooting low I can deal with, just have to find the sweet spot
As far as hitting to the left, just gets worse at greater distances
Anything a gun Smith can do with a fixed site pistol ?
Awful disappointed
Thanks
My Vaquero Birdshead and Shopkeeper did the same thing out of the box. Sent them back to back to Ruger and they
re-torqued the barrels on each of them to fix the shooting to the left issue. I just raise the front sight a bit and that fixed
the shooting low issue. I just can't bring myself to run a file on either of them.
