[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 1076678, member: 48559"] The "trick" to sighting in a parallel but not superimposed optic is to either accept to offset in your point of aim, or choose a distance for the intersection of POI/POA and then have to correct for all other distances. The simpler method is the first one. Accept that your POI will always have to be to the right of your POA by the width of the offset in your platform, and dial or hold for various ranges as we usually do. If you want to use the intersection method, zero for windage at the longest distance you intend to shoot, not the closest. This makes for the least headaches when adjusting for other ranges. As for the "rocking" you describe, you may want try inserting a small shim and after checking to make sure you get an acceptable zero use bedding compound to fix the shim in place. Use release agent on the rifle but not on the mount, so the shim is glued to the mount and you can remove it and restore the rifle to original condition if you ever decide to part with it. [/QUOTE]
