tut, if both barrels were shooting to the same point of impact, they were regulated. When they both don't shoot to point of aim, and they both shoot low the same amount, there is likely nothing wrong with the gun ....it just doesn't fit the shooter.

If they both shot to the same place, and they were just a little low, I'd have handled it myself instead of sending it back to Merkel. Building up the comb with leather or moleskin, bending for a little less drop, either would have raised the POI that much. Shooting too low is not what I usually see, but it's probably because of my build. Shooting high is much more common for me with a new gun.

Best, SRH

Stan, was a brand new gun still in the Box. I freely admit I didn't try to shoot it. I gave him my 28 Gauge Merkel SXS the next time out and he went 3 for 3 on Doves and I had to pry it out of his hands.
