Title: Shooting a bead

If you were buying a 20 gauge, what would you pick, that point of aim point of impact is good I definitely don't want any type of optic want to shoot a fiber optic bead

Both of my M2s and my son's Affinity have shot perfectly to POA.

Be advised. The load and choke has some to do with it not just the gun.

Load and choke will make a diffence almost every time.My M2 shoots high with a rob roberts choke .... not alot but some. Optics or bead is personal choice.

One with stock spacers so you can adjust so it points where you look!

You can also play with choke tube tightness, not talking about "constriction".  I know that it sounds crazy but it works. You can snug it up and slowly tighten it and you can get the pattern to move.

My M2 20 and 12 both shoot poa, had a Stoeger 20 that was dead in as well. Hard to beat the Stoeger for the money

Both my Benellis shoot very good and i won't be running a red dot on either. The Supernova did shoot a little high but a magnetic fiber optic that is taller fixed that.

The 20 ga Monty shoots dead on the money. Both throw great patterns with TSS and lead. But i shoot TSS out of both.

My CZ Drake took a bit more work to get the POI and POA on the same page. But it is now using a fiber optic bead. I'm still playing with chokes and what lead i'll be shooting in my close barrel. Top barrel gets TSS.
