Hi guys. I have an older Aimpoint CompM mounted on a flat top SBR with a World Wide Ordnance #214 mount. I sighted it in at 50 yards from a bench and using a rest. When I used the rest, the dot is slighty low in the lense and shots are on target. When I shoulder the weapon and do not use the rest, my head is slightly elevated and the dot is centered more in the tube. This is when I run into trouble. From the shoulder, my shot are then low and NOT on the previously zeroed location. I then re-zeroed the sight to hit from the shoulder. I am not jerking the weapon down while shooting from the shoulder, so why are my shots low? Am I doing something wrong are is there a problem with my old Aimpoint? Someone once told me that a rifle will zero differently from the bench than from the shoulder. Is this true? Thanks in advance. |

I think you might b experiencing some paralax problems you may not b getting your eye in the same place bhind the optic when shooting off the rest as with standing. This will cause the point of aim to shift. there is no fix for this other than to center your eye weather standing or bench shooting. most newer quality optics have corrected for this. yours may b old enough not to. |
