I agree with Chicago. If this gun indeed shoots 12-18 inches low, you should send it back to the maker for remedy. If you purchased the gun 'used' you might have a problem returning it, although there is another thread right now as to how CSMC bends over backwards to satisfy their customers. I guess you will find out. In terms of determining POI, you need to shoot at least a 5 shot group, more would be better, even 10 shots, because you might 'flinch' on one or two of the shots. See where the pattern is most dense and that is POI. That's how people who alter barrels do it. Changing a sight will only change POI by about an inch. A stock alteration, only a couple more, maybe a little more. If you put an adjustable comb somewhat higher, but I doubt you want to go that route on a bird gun. Changing choke angle in the barrel itself, only 1 to maybe 1.5 inches at most. For me, I like a gun to shoot 3-4 inches high. The only way to raise POI to suit my taste in a gun that shoots that low would be to bend the barrels up, if indeed the gun shoots that low after thorough testing. It really isn't that big of a deal to bend these barrels. Before the advent of the adjustable rib, trap shooters did this with their guns as pretty much common place. The famous gunsmith and barrel man, Herb Orre had an apparatus for bending barrels and did this procedure to many a shotgun, and very effectively. This is just my humble opinion, but I don't see any other way to raise POI 14-20 inches which is what it would take to suit me. Oh, I forgot, pitch. Changing pitch to negative can raise POI, but again, only a minor, minor amount.
