Yet their standard specification references the bead as being what their allowed variation is measured from.

When you confront them they trot out that nonsense about how it won't shoot as intended if it isn't fitted to you. It's two parts of one puzzle.



Careful. You’ve got this large segment of shotgunners that have bought into the ‘fit is all that matters’ for POI indoctrination some of these manufacturers and shills have pushed for the last few decades. There are likely $30k guns with bent barrels and cockeyed choke threading that had even more $ spent on stock work to get the shooter looking the same place the barrel was pointed. You’ll get their dander up if you start in on having a point of aim in a shotgun, much less having that coincide with a point of impact, AND THEN fitting (or learning to RUN) the gun to the point of impact when they shoot. How dare you?
eek



Dang. Shotgun shooting has gotten very complicated. When I was kid in the 1970s and 80s, men would purchase a high gloss Remington 1100 or Ithaca and would take birds, rabbits, and deer with it with NO discussion or complex thought about fit and POI and expensive aftermarket alterations.



….because you learned how to run the gun you had, not the one you didn’t have or couldn’t own. You didn’t know you had to have 4 math equations and a $30k custom rig to hit something moving. wink
