In a perfect world it would be low, however, that would be assuming both risers measure and seat perfectly. You are raising your POA from original setting, so when you aim at the target you would be lowering the muzzle of the rifle. ETA: The crosshairs are same as front sight on a rifle. Move the front sight in opposite direction you want to move POI. When adjusting rear sight, the opposite is true, move rear sight in direction you wish to move POI.
