I respect your opinion but I'm afraid we are are going to have to agree to disagree. :-)
I'm aware of the fact that the POI for some shotguns is off. If it can be corrected by a bead adjustment or aftermarket sights then great. If the barrel doesn't shoot straight, however,then I would see if the factory would replace it and, if not, I would sell it. We're talking about a relatively inexpensive gun here unless it's some sort of family heirloom. I would never have the confidence to hunt with that gun again. That's just me - others may feel differently.
As to the comb height, I've never had that problem but I can understand how someone else might. When taking aim I first look straight down the rib until I see the bead and no rib, then place my cheek against the stock in that position (we're talking about turking hunting, so I have plenty of time. Wing shooting is different). That assures I am taking ahead and and cheekposition consistent with proper aim. If one does this in the reverse order and takes an incorrect head position I can see how they could be improperly aimed.
