I have a Mossberg 500 combo with an 18.5" cylinder bore barrel, and a 28" modified choke barrel. I am considering putting a mini red dot sight on the gun, but I am new to using optics on a shotgun. So, my question is this: Does changing the barrel/choke combo effect the point of aim at close range, say, 20 yards, or does the different barrel/choke effect only the pattern? What about at 50 yards? I want to know if I am going to have to re-zero the sight when changing barrels.
