Yes there is an advantage to having the scope optically centered at mounting, if the bore is out of alignment with the mounts by very much, it will show up immediately when it's bore sighted. That's why some folks end up having to shim bases or use Burris offset inserts due to misalignment issues. Using a mirror to center the reticle costs nothing and is Leupold's recommended method of doing so. You also dont' have to worry about locking the
ajustments up by bottoming them out when counting clicks.

I have never had that problem... I set up my scopes so that the 100 yd zero is at the bottom of the elevation turret's range - that way I get all of the up that is available for shooting, and never have to worry about loosing track of where the elevation is.
Works for me.
