Thermal zero

[Shootermick]

I zeroed my new Hikmicro Panther, it worked well and was pretty easy with the freeze function.
But now the reticle is slightly off centre, although on target. It’s not really enough to notice, but when you put Picture in Picture on, you can see it.
Do other brands work like this? Or is there a way to put the reticle back in dead centre whilst keeping the zero? It’s not that much of an annoyance if it can’t be done. Maybe it’s just playing on my ocd.

Using an adjustable mount perhaps?

Reticle maybe off-centre and especially with pip. It depends on brand and day night scopes suffer same problem

If it's still zeroed and its not ridiculously noticeable I'd definitely leave well enough alone.
But,,,, only after consulting the manufacturer and your warranty and be guided by what they say.
If they can't help by offering a solution, I wouldn't be tinkering with it.

Question,,, Was it something you've done that caused it,,,,,, or was it like it from new ?

If someone else looked through it, they probably wouldn’t notice. But I’ve since found out it’s normal. Reticle is centred from the factory, but when you zero it, the reticle moves to a new spot on the screen. So I’m happy with it. Was just trying to find out if I was doing something wrong. But in this case I wasn’t.
