I chose the AR General Discussion thread because I thought the general nature of this question would be appropriate here.

I just zeroed my new Aimpoint PRO. The instructions said it was shipped centered so there shouldn't be too much adjustment required.

I pasted a 25yard zero target marked for a 100 yard zero on an IPSC target and fired a round to see where it was - it hit right on the left edge of the cardboard silouhette. I guesstimated it it and moved it right 62 clicks. The put me on the target - had to go back left 6 and up 8 then confirmed zero. Put an action pistol cardboard up at 100 and fine-tuned and confirmed in 10 shots. Then hit some metal at 200 after I figured my hold for the wind. So I'm happy.

I zeroed the rifle without that much adjustment with both irons and the previous optic I had on there, a Burris AR332, so pretty sure it isn't the rifle.

My general question is despite Aimpoint's claim, is it usual to have to move the windage that much?

Just for my peace of mind.

Thanks!
