Default Effectiveness?? Mossberg 500 open sight

Hi guys, I've recently purchased a Mossberg 500 combo. I've put under 100 rounds through it so far.

Anyway, to make a long story short. I'm interested in knowing the capabilities of the gun. I'm not sure how happy I am about the scope that came with the combo. I've been trying to sight it in. I can't get the groupings that I know the gun is capable of at 50 and 100 yards. I've only heard decent things about the gun, so I have a feeling its the scope (still no clue, really).

I'm curious as to know what the potential of a Mossberg 500 with open sights. I know it has a lot to do with the person shooting it, but have you seen people able to get in the kill zone at 100 yards with a shotgun open sighted? Is that too tall of an order?

If 100 yards is a bit out there open sighted, what would you guys think is more realistic?

Thanks!!
