Optically centering ?

[krisko]

Imagine some people don’t use mildots but they dial in instead, Their aimpont is always the middle of the crosshairs. And they keep messing around with their elevation turrets depending on the range to target


they have to use shims or 10,20,25moa rails to help the scope to look Down without having to over adjust over travel on the elevation. Without shimming or added MOA to rail The outer tube of the scope is aligned/parallel with the action but then you have to point the inner tube the erector tube to follow the pellet trajectory! So the inner tube invisible from outside is pointing down!

Those who dial prefer many turns clockwise and anti-clockwise without worrying about running out of adjustment one way or the other.

With airguns for example at close ranges when the scope is high over the barrel you can’t even dial in ever, it is just too much, the pellet goes way under the optical axis as the bore is always lower than the scope vertically. of course low magnification helps.

Also the how much per click step is also a factor plus different scope allow different adjustment ranges.

Of course if the bore is not coaxial or the barrel is bent, that’s not going to help lol.
