Try multiple loads/combos. Find one that works and run with it.

My 870 loves the copper solids

what he said

 

once you find what it likes you'll love it, I have more expensive guns in the safe, however they stay there, because nothing seems to fit like a remington

I have an 870 wingmaster I put a rifled barrel on and use as a slug gun. I use the hornady sst 300 gr. sabots and I can shoot 2 inch groups @ 100yards all day long with it. You should have a great set up there. 

 

I really like the OD green stocks you got.

I shoot lightfields sabots and can get 2 inch groups at 100 yards.  Give them a try

Got it at dicks sporting goods for 499 for the combo

which isn't bad

Biggest issue with the combos is usually the glass. if you really have issues grouping after trying different loads go fo new glass.

Old 4 power widefield on mine,touching at 50 yds. 1" groups at 100 yds.,but that's off of a shooting bench. I would have too look to see which Rem. sabot it is.

Rem 870 special field 12 ga. Hastings barrel and hornaday sst about 2 inches at 100 yards with rifle sights

Off a shooting bench is the only way to sight in a gun and BTW that is nice shooting at 100yds.

If it's a 12 gauge, 1" center to center groups would be touching at 100 yards also. Outstanding accuracy for a slug gun ,or a RIFLE for that matter.

I started hunting back in the smoothbore/bead sight days when a shotgun that would group it's slugs on a paper plate at 75 yards was a real bragging piece.

I was tickled pink when I got my first rifled barrel and started shooting 4" groups at 100 yards with BRI sabots.

870 has been my shotgun of choice for 35 years...

[SuperMag]

I've been shooting plain federal rifled slugs out of my fully rifled barrel on my 870 ever since i started hunting. Touching groups off of my lead sled at 75 yards.

My 870 20 ga with rifled barrelshoots great, regardless of ammo.  We have had two different scopes on it:  one cheapie...one Leupold.  No difference in performance.

 

Before opting for a new scope...check the mounting of your package scope;  make sure everything is tight.
