Howdy,
Long time reader, first time poster....
870 pump action with 20" smooth bore, I've had it since 1998. Recently tried skeet with a buddy and with the 20" barrel-I was hitting about 30-40%. Now I'm trying to transform it to a skeet gun. Here is what I have done to it:
-Put on a ribbed 28" smooth bore barrel with a cylinder choke.
-Fiber optic front sight
As I'm researching and learning, I've noticed that my biggest issue is the fit and aim. If I'm diagnosing correctly, my POI is higher than my POA. My face sits high and I’m looking down onto the barrel/front sight. When aiming the front sight is higher, with lots of rib showing. I have tried the straw test and it confirms it. Tried uploading some pics but was unsuccessful.
At first, I thought I'll just get some shims and adjust the comb, but there are none for the 870. To compare, I went to Basspro and tried a Feildmaster and it fit just fine. Trying to see what my options are:
Maybe, I find a feildmaster stock and put it on? Will it fit?
Is there a way to adjust the comb?
Hoping that y'all could give me some direction. Thank you in advance.
