Is you scope mounted to the guns receiver? If so it will be very hard to get acceptable groups as the barrel and receiver are not mated together in a rigid fashion, i.e. screwed together.
The best accuracy with a shotgun an slugs generally comes when you use a cantilever scope mount which is fixed to the barrel.
Other might be's:
Load selection, try different loads. Sabo slugs in a smooth bore barrel?
You should try out a choke. It will group your shot tighter espeacially at those long ranges.
I've been very unimpressed with Bushnell in the past. I had a Bushnell Trophy 3-9x40 on the last Rifle I had. It would not stay sighted in. Got rid of it and bought a Leupold.
If you want another Red Dot try a Leupold.
