Seems I have better luck eyeballing it than bore lasers. I have one that sticks in the barrel, and found that it's never perfectly in line with the bore. You can "spin" it and watch the dot dance around. Additionally, you need it dark enough to see the dot, but light enough for the sights to be useful.

I have big glass French doors, and the guy across the street has a wooden fence. I pull the upper, and set it on the coffee table well inside the room. I line the center of the bore up with the corner of the fence where it makes a nice clear contrasting L. Lift my head a little and check my sight picture. Adjust. Repeat. Always on paper first shot. Easy peasy.
As far as your stick? That's WAY too much adjustment for me lol. I've found I don't even like playing with my scope knobs so I've just been working on holdovers. I like to set and forget.
