[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 590991, member: 22335"] Consider re-aligning the scope using a mirror. To do this: - Lay a mirror flat on a table. Having a light source shining at the mirror from the side or at an angle also helps. - Place the scope objective flat onto the mirror. No Butler Creek caps or similar should be in place, as you want the metal of the objective right on the glass of the mirror. - Now look through the eyepiece. You will see two crosshairs, the real one and a "ghost" one reflected in the mirror. Move your windage/elevation adjustments so that both crosshairs are on top of each other. Your scope is now [I]optically[/I] centered. Personally I much prefer this method of scope centering as it's faster and easier than counting and keeps the optics aligned. Ideally with a Z600 you don't want to vary much from the optical center anyway when mounting the scope, so your best bet may be an angled base or Burris Signature Zee rings that allow you to add some adjustment to the scope without touching its internals.
