With my new 580 series gun with the tapered barrel I will get between 2-3" at a hundred with open sights and Monarch ammo from Academy Sports. Thats with 53 year old eyes that do not work as well as they used to. I have not scoped my gun and shot it. I like open sights on this type of rifle.
I also had another 580 serial# gun with the straight taper barrel that shot just as well. I sold when I bought the above mentioned gun and really regret it. It weighed 3/4 of a pound less and you could tell when lifting them side by side. It was more like an M-1 Carbine.
