I got a SIG ROMEO5 for my birthday and last month when I tried it out whilst it was thin enough to not cause stovepipes on my Saiga 12 the point of impact was WAY low. I thought maybe I mounted it wrong so I got a bore laser and the two dots pretty much matched up in my basement. I figured at the range I'd see a discrepancy but they seemed to match up at 15 yards as well. Yet even still the point of impact is where you see here when I aimed for the center target. I thought maybe it was the ammo but both the RUAG Copper Slugs and plain old Remington field loads hit in the same place. Even after removing the red dot and putting it back it still hit the same place.
Trying the irons between remounting it I hit all towards the center where I was aiming and you can see the group so I don't think I just suck that hard at shooting. I tried a cheek weld, chin weld, bottom of my chin weld and pressing the stock firmly against my cheekbone weld and all hit that same spot.
What is happening? I realize now that maybe that I only saw one dot because the bore laser was outside the portal of the red dot if their that far off each other. Could the sight really be THAT off from the factory? This is so bizarre. I don't want to have to pay the gunsmith to zero it, even I have too much shame for that [plus I mostly have him do stuff since I'm worried about breaking or damaging my guns, don't really think I can break anything zeroing a sight]. So what can I do to figure out what is causing such a disparity at such close ranges especially. God only knows what it'd do at 50 yards...
