Do you optically center your scopes or not? I typically DO, before installing the scope, but then I don't worry about adjusting AWAY from the optical center to sight in the rifle. Ideally, it would be great if the optical center WAS at least laterally in line with the bore, but it rarely works out that way.

On ONE rifle, I did have a lot of problem with lateral deviation, however, I just added the lateral corrections to my field card, instead of spending a lot of time aligning the scope or replacing rings/mounts.

So how much stock do you put into optically centering your scopes?
