I think a new gun is the answer to this issue too and have lobbyed for that the whole time. This whole matter is complicated by the fact that this gun is a present. Needless to say this present means alot to me and I want a gun that I can keep. The POI thing really, really bothers me and makes me want to part with the gun. No doubt I would loose a grand or more in the process but I don't want or need a gun that doesn't hit where I point. The gun may pattern better with different shells but I don't know since I did not want to fire the gun with it already giving problems. I wonder if this were a Poli, Grulla, Aya, etc., would they replace the gun or try to fix it? Its a moot point I guess but I wonder how this is normally dealt with in the industry since I am sure that anyone can produce a gun that gives trouble.
