I had some trouble with this until I put a laser on the rifle sighted for 5 meters. Looking through the scope gave a 1.5" difference in point of aim to the laser. This effectively equated to the difference between the bore and the centre of the scope.
New normal then became: Put red dot on possum head, pull trigger, bang, dead possum on ground.
