Scope offset

[Pickettpuncher]

What’s the concensus on acceptable offset. Unless you have really fine adjustments it’s darn near impossible to get it 100%. Do you prefer to have the center of the group a bit high, left/right. Does it even matter? Trying to get a zero lined up but wanted to know what others felt about it.

You’re waaaaay overthinking it. There isn’t a gun or shooter on the planet that needs finer than 1/4 moa to get a zero centered. The most you could possibly be off with .25 moa clicks is 1/8” at 100 or 2.5” at 1k.
Edit: actually 1.25” at 1k, since the clicks would be 2.5” ea. whoops.

That’s what I’m wanting confirmation of. Thank you

If its even truly repeatable on different days and assuming absolutly zero wind....
Windage: favor the side opposite what it shoots at your max range.
Elevation: favor click high.

I'd pick left for spin drift, but aside from that, 0.18" (or 0.125" if you don't shoot mil) is never going to impact anything.
