[QUOTE="Rob72, post: 1028475, member: 707"] Essentially, yes. Cheap red dots are pretty much crap though. The mount should be tight (preferrably torqed if your mount allows), and zeroing at 30 yards should be a matter of firing 1 round, with the rifle bagged, then moving the dot to cover the hole. A free-standing "wide" group would not be surprising, if you are used to irons, because you have more vertical FOV. IOW, the tendency is to let the dot float, since you do not have a hard lower limit to refer to, basically,"chasing the dot", as folks sometimes do with CT, etc. style pistol lasers. [/QUOTE]
