New SBE3 - Front Bead Off Center

[zz3l4b]

Has anyone noticed their SBE front bead is off center? I reached out to Benelli for a replacement bead and they said that they could not guarantee that I would get one that wasn't off center again. I'm wondering if this is the root cause to my gun shooting 2" to the left at 21 yards.

I have had very good customer acceptance with the Performance Shop front site:

One would think that the original sights for this $1,500 gun would be of better quality, and I would not be required to purchase replacement sights from the Benelli Performance Shop to rectify this situation.

The Benelli website states: "Benelli's renowned reliability, exceptional quality and forward-thinking innovation set us apart. Every firearm we make demonstrates a commitment to superior technology and craftsmanship that has propelled us to the forefront of the shooting industry."

I get that it’s not perfect and it would definitely mess with your ocd but you have to ask the question “is it really going to make that much difference on a shotgun” and the most important question “does it shoot where you point it”?

Right know I'm stuck with a gun that shoots 80/20 and 4" to the left looking straight down the barrel with the "D" shims installed. Benelli attempted to adjust the POI without any success. I guess I'm reaching at this point.

2” at 21 yards 4” at 42 yards?  Or did it got worse since the original post?  Spread seems like it would be wide at that range but I’m not a hunter so what do I know.

The gun shoots high (80/20), which is the biggest problem, and to the left (2" at 21 yards & just under 4" at 40 yards). Benelli performed a repair to lower the point of impact, which appears to have left the gun in an unsafe condition, so now the gun is heading back to Benelli for inspection/repair.

Still haven't received my replacement sight from Benelli, I guess they cannot find one that isn't off center as they indicated to me on the phone a few weeks ago.
