Is it the scopes or the chinesium Picatinny rails on the guns themselves ? 

Definitely the scopes, the rails line up with the original gun-sights themselves.

In addition to the common physical factor being your rail, have you also considered the effect of parralex error from your head/eye position?

 

A little ‘adjustment’ can be made to your rail - permanently by filing down an edge or less permanently by slipping in some paper or card on one side to shift the sights relative position when mounting.

 

There isn’t too much that can be done about parralex error, but extra layers of rails or an offset rail can move the sight to what may be a ‘better’ position 

 

I guess parallax problems do occur because when I shoulder it, the reticule changes from "zeroed" to "not-zeroed" depending on the mounting. Sometimes I mount it, discover it works fine, then stare down the sight again to discover it's "off". Already tried an extra rail set, I use a larger mount for the sight to see over a PEQ box. Even with accounting for both, the sight is still off-centre.

Howdy, shooters

So, I have a conundrum: my red dot sights. I have some cheap Eotechs, a Theta Optics Monolith red dot sight and a Valken V tactical red dot. The running theme between all of them is that they are all off-centre because of structural flaws that are built into the scopes themselves. When mounted the scopes are either shifted too much to the left or too the right, no matter which way they are mounted. This is getting annoying since it makes zeroing the gun and aiming a chore more than it should be. I guess it serves me right for buying cheap red dots. 

Anyone know of any brands that are actually properly made so the scope sits on the centre instead of being shifted right or left?
 

[Perfecting Your Loadout, the Unsung Hero of Destroying Your Bank Account]

I freely admit I'm not someone who "perfects" their loadout, I mostly just buy stuff because it looks good . Although in recent years I've been tweaking it so it works for me, I'm right handed and use an ICS S.I.R. M4 and have my M4 mag pouches on the left so I can easily get mags. Beyond that I have shoulder pads, groin protector and neck protector installed. It gets hot and tiring very quickly but I'm too inefficient and image concious to change down to something smaller, more practical.

The FRV belt looks good, like the idea of an internal and external belt. I'd probably stick with the FRV, seems to be a bit cheaper (not to be a cheapskate but I don't think I do airsoft enough to fork out 120 for a belt XD), thanks as wel guys!

Preferably one that you can holsters and pouches from, I probably should've said that before :P.

Hey guys

I appeal to your loadout smarts: I need a good belt, one that is roughly 5-6cm height, preferably not velcro and is not too expensive. I usually use a Viper belt and I need to get rid of it before I burn it alive. Any brands or products that are worthwhile?
