LOGGER79 Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 I bought a SBEII last fall. I have already put over 1000 rnds through it mostly 3" stuff. No problems with the action but my pass shooting is suffering with this gun. I had to trade back to my 11-87 in south dakota to hit anything! I have been playing with the shims that come with the gun but this time of year there are no birds to try it on. Any suggestions on how to adjust P.O.I. would be helpful. Quote
tucker301 Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 I had a little trouble when I switched from an 870 to the SBEII. I spent some time on the range and a couple of cases or clays later, I was back on target. Quote
mudhen Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 My new SBE II shot dead on right from the box. If I had to adjust it, I would have to set up some sort of test pattern experiment where I could shoot fast and see what was going on. One of my friends has a great system. He buys a big roll of packing paper - the cheap white paper - and he runs it along a fence on his ranch. He then draws as many 30" circles as he can with a black dot in the middle. He steps back to whatever distance he wants, and takes snap shots as if he was hunting. He gets an idea real quick if there is a problem. His method is much quicker than setting up one pattern board at a time. Good luck, mudhen - CA Quote
