generally speaking a gun that shoots low/high/left or right is usually a gun fit issue more than a mechanical issue.gunmakers design guns for the average build[whatever that is!]if it has shims     you will want to put in the one that raises the comb.your eye is the rear sight when using a single bead.raising your eye[rear site]raises your poi as lowering your eye[rear site]will lower your poi.i just went thru this with my vinci.i realy did not want to sight or scope it because its dual purpose waterfowl /turkey.its just a trial and error process.im sure u will make it work.by the way,im looking into ff2 marlin 336 to have the best of both worlds!  ward

Update, called beretta and spoke with a gunsmith and he told me to change out the cast and heel spacers.  Finally did that today and shot it this evening.  It did bring the poi up but not Dead on.  So still trying to figure it out.

Really only 3 choices:

1) Aim a foot high
2) Adjustable sights (williams, red dot, holo, or scope)
3) Have gun smith look at it and possibly correct it


How long have you had the gun and has it just recently been shooting low?

i always tighten mine down with pliers and it shoots perfect for me, no wiggle equalls consistent patterns and same impact spot every time

Problem found, Indian Creek choke is causing all the issues.  Fixing to purchase a different choke and hope it shoots poi.....
