Ok. To preface this all I know this is not a problem really, but I was just wondering.
I originally had a Troy trx rail and have Daniel defense front and rear sights. When installing the Troy I bridged the upper receiver and rail w/ my larue mount for aimpoint t1. I didn't have to do much zeroing at all.
I changed rails to a DD ris ii and first mounted the rail and zeroed at 25 without much changing of windage and elev. This time I forgot to bridge the upper receiver and rail and I wanted my aimpoint one notch forward but the rail was preventing the mount from closing.
So, I loosened the rail and 'bridged' the upper and rail w/ aimpoint and then tightened the rail down. When I went to zero at 25 it took a lot of adjustment w/ the rear sight to get a decent zero.
I know having the rear aperture over quite a bit is pretty normal as long as there is enough room for adjustment.
My question is why when bridging the ris ii and upper did it change so much? Minute unevenness between the rail and upper receiver? Every rifle I've had hasn't had to have the aperture over to one side. I guess it is just a little bit of ocd.
