First time on here guys. I have a new Beretta Xtrema 2 w/o kick off system, and i have noticed while patterning my gun for the first time that the point of Impact is not my Point of Aim? On top of that, not matter what choke i put in it, the pattern stays pretty much the same...Im more of a rifle guy, so im a little lost as what to do.
Quite frankly im a little ****** my $1200 gun doesnt hit what im aiming at on ly 40 yards away!
:confused::mad:
I was shooting 3" Remington #5's through Beretta chokes Modified, Full, and Xtra Full Turkey
 
If it just has a bead sight, you need to figure out the correct sight picture so to speak. If its shooting low, you need to get your eye sight lower in relation to the receiver/stock. I know its annoying to adjust something you are familiar with, but that may be the only way.
 
Sounds like they threaded the barrel at an angle. Or maybe the barrel is bent. Have you had someone else shoot it yet? I'd start there. Or maybe it just doesn't like that ammo.

Have you used the shims to adjust the POI to match your POA?

If you are seeing too much rib, you'll be shooting high, for example
 
Before you throw your new gun in the creek, just how did you pattern it? To compare the Point of Aim (POA) to the Point of Impact (POI), I would just shoot my tightest choke with the gun benched so as to exclude human error. (I know I am not human.)

That thing about the modified throwing the same pattern as the full and extra full doesn't make sense, but a friend showed me the results of patterning a new Beretta o/u and his improved modified wasn't as tight as his modified. Sine he is a retired machinist, he is going to mike his equipment to see the true constriction his chokes.

By the way, you never said how far off the gun is shooting at 40 yards
 
Did you shoot off a bench with a solid rest? or free standing?

For POA/ POI testing a lot of people recommend putting in your tightest choke and shooting at 13 yards using a bench. This way is what I use as well.

In other words like sighting in a rifle, then after testing go from there to possibly making changes to the stock to get your POA/POI the same
 
Okay, first, with a rest, and making sure your eye is aligned down the top of the rib, shoot a few patterns with a Full choke. This gives you the gun's POI, which should be the same as point of aim. If that's off, call Beretta.
Then, freehand, throw the gun up and shoot a few more patterns. This is your POI with that gun set up that way. If that's off, start adjusting with the stock shims.
