Benelli shotguns question

Tim my thing is if I'm spending +/- 1,000 on a shotgun I honestly don't believe I should have to buy an additional accessory to make it shoot poa.
Now you want to choke a gun WAY down to get the tightest pattern possible? Sure I can see adding some extra sights but if the shims will correct an m2 enough to bring it down to 1-3 inches then I can probably live with that.

Your inexperience is showing. It's not uncommon for shotguns to shoot somewhat "off." Be glad Benelli has an easy and reliable method to fix the issue. Your problems are self inflicted. Because you didn't take the time to research the Monty or M2 the perceived problems aren't actually gun problems, it's your own lack of understanding the guns that is the issue.



Easy now, that makes way to much sense.

Stop using common sense and experience to answer the questions. It cost $1000 and should shoot perfectly for any shape, size or experience level that picks it up! *sarcasm*

Yep, good luck.
Seems like the folks that always buy the bargain basement stuff are the ones who always expect perfection when they spend a few extra bucks on the next level.
If you want a perfect fit call the folks at Perazzi.

Many shotgun shooters prefer to have their shotguns shoot a little high so they don't have to cover the target to hit it dead center.

I don't want to choke a shotgun WAY down to get the tightest pattern possible. I would rather have as wide a pattern as I can get with the pattern being dense enough to do the job. I would much rather have a 24" wide killing pattern than a 12" wide killing pattern.
 
Your M2 is designed to shoot high. Look at the rib and notice that it's higher near the receiver and lower at the muzzle. Ribs like that shoot high.
 
For those that actually gave genuine answers thank you.
For the [beeep]-tards that are just stirring the [beeep]-pot, I've never had a shotgun I've had to adjust to shoot.

Where, in reference to the target, is your bead when shooting? Please give the center of the bead location and the top of the bead location.


You purchased the shotgun used without any of the factory supplied shims. Regarding your POI vs POA differential, one could easily surmise that there is a very wrong (for you) shim installed and the shotgun doesn’t fit you worth a hoot right now. Fit on a shotgun is very much like adjusting iron sites. The site-line moves up and down by moving the comb and therefor the POI.


And mostly, calm down a bit. It’s just some gentle ribbing. Nothing posted is worth getting that upset over. There is a ton of very accurate and valuable information presented that you are overlooking because of how you perceive it.

Being a VERY novice skeet shooter, I listen to what everyone tells me. From what I gather, shimming the stock to adjust the pattern is very normal. My buddy/coach shimmed his Kriegoff shotgun just a few weeks ago to get it to shoot where he wanted it to. Its not abnormal to have to do this.
