citori problems

[SWAMPFOX]

i have inherited a browning citori 3.5'' 26'' barrel with factory mobu duratouch. never shot it until yesterday. so at 30yds. with a flush full choke and 3.5'' xx win. #6  i checked her out . shot 3 times out of each barrel and windage is right on but elevation was 12- 16'' high and this was disapointing. it was a great pattern being nice and even though. i have ordered some chokes to experiment with and maybe this will help my poi. i like to run a bead on my turkey rigs and dont want to go with sights or red dots . anyone have any solutions, thoughts, ideas on this? i was hoping this gun would shoot true as i always wanted to make a turkey rig out of it.definetly going to install limbsaver pad b\f shooting again.
thanks,swampfox

I have shot a citori satin hunter 3.5" with 28" brl for about 12 years at turkeys.  Mine shot high just like yours.  I put sights on mine and it still shot high so I just aimed at the base of the  beard.  It killed several turkeys with the gun.  It also shot great patterns with winchester 2 1/4oz #5 lead and federal HW #7.

I used a Mod. choke in top brl with a 3.5" handload of #7.5 lead for the close turkeys.

thanks for reply 224th. good old kentucky windage. what are some chokes your gun liked for longe range barrel?

also,thanks for reply johndoe. what did u end up doing with cynergies? do u think a competant gunsmith can correct this and would it be worth it if so?

Put a taller bead on the front sight or if you have a slip on front sight you can put a piece of plastic or whatever under the clip and adjust until you get it right.
This may also be a length of stock /comb ht adjustment but get a taller front sight first.

My gun shot a CHEAP $18 choke from walmart that is an "indian" something. It is an extended nonported choke that is .665.

On the sights I tried 3 different sets of adjustable sights and it still shot high with them adjusted all the way.  That is why I aimed at the base of the beard.

thanks
