Help please Stoeger pattern

billiam270wsm · February 17, 2005, 06:48 PM

I just picked up my new Stoeger 2000 and love everything but the pattern. With duck loads the gun patterns well with modified choke. The problem is that when the Full or Turkey shoke either one is used, They both pattern about 8 inches low at 35 yards. This isnt normal, is it?? I would rather it pattern high, than low. Atleast if it patterend high I could draw a bead right below the target. However Now I have to cover up my target and put the bead about 8 inches above a turkeys head. I find this frustrateing.
What can be done, short of sending it in?? Can the stock be shimed, or do I have to get used to it the way it is. How uncommon is this? Thanks for all help. Bill

You want it to shoot high,not low.You will have to raise the comb at least 1/8 of an inch if not a little more.Any good gun shop can help you.It`s a sticky back rubber that you can get to put on to do this.I get it from Midsouth Shooters Supply.You can too if you can`t find it locally.
