I just received a combo barrel 930:

Let me say that this is the first that I've shot sabots through a rifled barrel and didn't have good results. The front sight was centered in the rear sight and even with the notch in the rear sight. With a "bullseye hold" the first shot was 2" high and 2" to the right. I loosened the top screw to adjust the windage and it moved so easily that it almost fell out. The 2nd shot was almost on top of the 1st shot so I moved the rear sight to the left.
After 4 shots the windage adjustment was steadily moved to the left but it really didn't move the impact as far as I thought it would. A 6 o'clock hold got me very close to the bullseye so the elevation screw wasn't touched.
Maybe my expectations were too high in thinking that this setup was going to shoot just as good as a rifle?
With the price of sabots being so high does anyone have any ideas that might help me with getting more proficient with this slug barrel on the 930?
FYI the barrel(s) and gun were cleaned before shooting. I thought I did a good enough job cleaning the bolt, action, etc. without taking out the trigger group. The gun was striped down at the end of the shooting session and there were some areas that had the red assembly lube on them.
