Do you find that 870 express shoot strait on average .i know every gun is a law unto it's self but I thought being an economy gun it might print high  , low etc. Thanks for any answers

Mine shoots just a tad on the low side.about 4 inches at 20 yards so I put on adjustable sights and that fixed the problem.

For the most part the standard barrel lengths (23" and up)shot spot on. Now they were a little low but that was probably due to me getting too low on the stock. 

Now the 21" barreled guns are their own beast. I couldn't get the two I've messed with to shoot straight without adjustable sights.

I have a 870 spst and a 870 super mag 12 gauge both would not shoot POA.  I put a scope on both of them.  Problem solved.

Nothing really to do with make or model, I've had high end semi autos that were off 10 inches and a Mossberg that shot nuts, never know until you shoot them.

I have a $1500 SBE 2 that is Way off with the POA/POI  . I have 1 870SM that shoots slightly High right, a 3in chamber 870 express thats dead on.

I have one that shoots perfect and one that shoots a little high @ 40. I have two extra barrels and one of those shoots left and the other shoots perfect.

I have two, one shoots dead on and the other is about 2" low @ 40.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

Ruger M77

Mine shot dead on with the 28''factory barrel I have a24'' barrel on it now and it shoots high  put truglo sights on it and got it good now
