I had the same issue with a RWS pellet rifle. Had the scope adjusted all the way down and it was still shooting 6 inches low. We got it at a swap meet and the previous owners must have been holding at the very end of the barrel when opening it and had bent it down.
How in the world did you bend a shotgun barrel?

It always shot good.Then one year,I had some misses and the few birds I did get were not clean kills.Set up some targets,Shot high and right.Had some buddies shoot it and it shot the same for them.Gunsmith said it was bent(doesn't take much)Now it shoots fine.

My Mossberg 835 shot about 4" high with just the 2 bead system. It was still enough to kill birds but I wanted it to be the best it could. Put a non magnifying red dot on it and love it. Was able to move my pattern and havent had any trouble with it at all. Good luck.
