I tried bore sighting in my Leopold DPP and ran into a small issue. I have to max out the elevation to get the dot to meet the laser point at 10 yards. After doing a bit of searching online apparently this is an issue with most of the pistol sized red dots and its a combination of height over bore and the short sighting distance. I even found a post from a vortex customer service guy recommending to sight in at 25 and just understand that you will be slightly low at distances shorter than that. And if you want to have a zero any shorter you will need a shim.
Should I try and find a shim or should I zero at 25 and just compensate when shooting closer?
