Bushnell LMSS H32 reticle rangefinder aiming point?

I have been impressed with this spotting scope and like the H32 reticle. There is one problem though. The top of the reticle is 5 mils below the center point of the reticle. I understand why they did this for observation purposes but now I have to aim the rangfinder 5 mils down. My plan is to aim at top center point of the reticle at the max distance my rangefinder will pick up. It is a pretty bad ass rangefinder (Wilcox Raptar. Thanks Wig!) and I think it will push out to 4000+ meters in ideal conditions but shooting for 2500 meters. Will be at night with a pvs30 in front of the scope.

My reasoning is that zeroing at a hundred yards is a no go because beyond that the beam will aimed downward so much that anything beyond that will be way off. If it is zeroed at max ranging distance to the center top of the reticle (5 mils below center) it should hit all targets in between.
Have any of you guys tried this or something similar? I will be mounting the raptar on the top of the spotting scope.

I too am having a similar problem. Any input would great. Op, do you have any extra side/top rails for the lmss youd want to possibly sell?
 
So it took it out with a PVS 30 to a 2150 m distance water tower zeroed at 850 m with the visible laser at night against another water tower. Couldnt see the visible laser at 2150 unfortunately but top to bottom it seemed dead on when measuring at the edges. I think it is working great so far. Distance was limited by environment but I think it will go a-lot farther. More to come....
 
Anyone have any success with a parallel zero with the LMSS?

Here’s what I found...

I attempted to get a parallel zero by getting the height over “bore” and using the wall method like with a peq and rifle. However as I moved back to 50m to continue the process, whenever I would change magnification somewhere between 15-20x the dot would bounce from one side to the other.

I also tried to just do an 11m zero similar to an m151 but still would see the laser bounce around as zoom varied.

I’m not sure how this works with the reticle moving lower as zoom is increased, so I’m probably not compensating for something correctly.

But long story short, I just went back to a leupold m151 because it stays parallel as you zoom and no issues with ranging/distances/zoom.

This is all with a STORM by the way.

The center line on this is really annoying...
