Simple way to center the reticle/crosshairs is to place the objective end of the scope against a mirror. Look into the scope and dial the windage and elevation until there is only one set of crosshairs.

Leupold windage adjustable mounts will fix a lot of problems. Leupold used to make a mount that did windage and elevation, I don't have the name handy right now.

Here's an old Balvar 8 that has no windage or elevation adjustments. I mounted it in a Leupold windage adjustable mount and shim for elevation, this one is very close so only used a piece of greased paper on the rear ring. It is accurate enough for me to make it to the final round of an egg shoot. I wanted to see if 50 yr old scope could still be competitive. We stopped on the way home from the competition to take a coyote with our comp. rifles.

If you look closely, you can see the shim paper under the scope in the rear ring.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.
