Take your shotgun to a good smith and have him bend the barrel. Also, If you have a friend that has a 20ga. like yours, borrow his barrel and see what your gun does with a different barrel on it. 0 -

That or try to shimm the stock.
I know that my Benelli came with stock shims and I changed them out to change the point of impact.0 -
Buy a pack of mole skin and place on the stock where you cheek hits the gun and place 1 there
Then put full choke in and shoot at target from 16 17 yards
if t is 1 inch low; ad 1/16th rise(by placing under that first mole skin applied) keep going till you get to where you want it.
What ever you do dont pay some one to bend the barell!!0 -
It's a zone weapon not a point one. Adjust how you how hold the weapon or the point of aim for your zone.
When shooting trap/skeet/clays with a field/hunting shotgun I find blotting out the bird with the barrel seems to do the trick.
If you are shooting slugs then 2 points to aim with will help. I put a mid bead in the rib of my 20" pistol gripped Express for just such a purpose. 3# coffee cans at 90 yards using a cast Lyman 1.25 oz. sabot slug.0 -
sights are a preference more than anything with a shotgun but if you intend to shoot slugs than rifle sights are good. 0 -
