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.

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.
