I have a 20 gauge CZ Upland model with 28" barrels and DT. The triggers were way too heavy but my gunsmith was able to get them in very good shape. It's a well made gun and I would use it a lot were it not for the fact that it shoots low. Instead of the 60/40 type pattern that I like, it shoots something like 20/80. It mostly stays in the safe.
That's an easy fix, coosa. Just build up the comb. It'll shoot higher. You can do it a little at the time and watch the pattern come up. If it is centered now, right and left, be careful not to build up the side toward your face as you build up the comb height. Some people use large pieces of moleskin and build them up until they are high enough, but they also let it wrap down the side which pushes the pattern left or right, according to whether the shooter is left handed or right handed.

Stan, thanks for the advice. This gun has the same issue as the Beretta 425 that we talked about on here last year. If I put either of them on sandbags and aim down the rib, the POI of both guns is well below the POA. All of my other sxs guns when shot in this manner will either center the pattern up/down or shoot a little high. The Beretta 626 shoots about 70/30 high at 40 yards and that seems to fit my style of shooting perfectly. I really struggle with a gun that impacts low.
When I use either of the low shooting guns in wing shooting or clays, the low impact of the guns isn't quite as bad because I see a lot of the rib. That is, when I mount the gun it looks like I am aiming high and that compensates to some degree for the gun shooting low. We discussed buying an add on rib for the 425, and you even found a place that could make me one. I was going to order one, but I first wanted the gun to be fitted for choke tubes and it turned out to be too small in diameter so I just let it go.
Building up the comb would probably keep my face in a more consistent position, but I would still be seeing the rib and such things annoy me too much to wanna deal with it. I'd rather just use one of my guns that allows me to look right down the rib and hit the target.
I hope I have explained this so my issue can be understood; it always seems to cause confusion when I try to explain it. Probably will now as well.
