Grousec, I have tried trulock, kicks gobbling thunder, and under taker, all seem to have the same issues of shooting high. I have shot different loads whether it be heavy shot, Federal, Winchester, 3" & 3 1/2",  I have not talked to Benelli which might be something I should do. My Benelli seems to shoot fine when I shoot at ducks and dove, I Think it just doesnt pattern heavy turkey loads well.

Put a bigger bead on it will help some. I have found that benelli gun shoot high. Now I have saw that most shot off. Mine did not. It is a SBEII. Now that said I think the guns twist or flex. Mine had just been used as test gun. I sold my main gun so I duck hunt with it this year. By mid season I had got off on my shooting. Well it not me the gun has changed POI. It like the rest of the guns that get used. It is off.

I have killed turkeys with my Camo Cynergy.  I find it easier to carry around my 870 in the woods.

Wanted to follow up and point out that there are many valid points on this thread and I by no means discourage anyone from an O/U turkey setup.

Just understand that you can sink a lot of money into a setup fast and not get the results you want.   POA/POI issues, patterning two barrels, choke tubes times 2.   It all adds up $$$!

I will at some point be adding a 0/U to my arsenal as nothing beats the simplicity, weight and overall length of a good O/U.

Happy hunting!

These are very good points, I got a citori set up last year and used it mainly this year. Good guns but are kinda heavy and the barrels do shoot a little different.
