None of my guns shoots directly to point of aim. But I know all their faults and try to compensate for them. It's adds a little fun to shooting, knowing if you compensated enough, or too much. I can understand wanting your gun to shoot as straight as possible, and I've even tried drifting the sight on my target Remington, but I,m sure the gun probably shoots straighter than I'm capable as shooter. I'm not an accuracy shooter, but if I,m close enough group-wise, I know gun is doing it"s job, I just didn't compensate enough. Besides, it's just FUN! I gave up "exact" for "close enough" when I retired.
