Raising the comb height with a laced-on leather pad should help.

Like Ramrod said raising the stock or bending the barrel yrs ago we used to bend the barrels to make a field grade into a trap grade, dont advice it to be done by anyone who dont know how as many barrels were ruined, a trap stock also would help :D    JIM

I know this post is kind of old but here goes....From how far away are you patterning?  If it is 6'' high at 25 yds that may be of some concern.  If it is at 35 or 40yds it shouldn't matter at all.  You have to be an excellent shot to notice 6" at much range.  From my experience shooting the shotguns I have owned, many have shot off of center, still managed to hit birds with them though.
