Just sighted in a Leupold Custom shop 3x with heavy duplex. Out of the box, i would think the cross hairs were centered. Maybe not....
First load tried. 150NBT and 54 grains of Big Game.
Started at 50 to get it on paper. Thru the bore looked close. It was 10inches high and 1 inch Right at 50yards. Hmmm, so much for any confidence in mounting a scope and going hunting. Walked it down with 3 shots.
Went to 100. 3 a little high into 1.25inches. Up 8 clicks and 4 left and out to 200. 3 into 2.25 inches practically dead nuts.
Back to 100: 4 at 3 inches high into perhaps 1.5. 3 went into 3/4.
Not great shooting, but 3x, Heavy Duplex with some target guessing, and first load tried in this rifle. I doubt if I will be able to blame Leupold on a Pa Woods Deer miss.
