The question I'm getting at is; since you don't know if your sites are out you can't really use them as the control how do you know that your hop is really flat?
Set up a range. Zeroing your sights is a time consuming process. It's not as important for CQB than it is for DMR's.

Get a range at about 20-40 meters. Depending on how far you engage your target, go with the average.

Set your gun up so that it will not wobble. Mount it with a bipod or something, so long as it does not move. Fire it down range looking down the sights. You can tell if it's flat or not by looking down the range with 2 eyes open. One in the sight, one on the target. With a little bit of practice, you can see if the trajectory is going up or down, and how far the bb travels until it starts to drop.

I actually went the other way and adjusted the left/right up/down sights before doing hop up because I assume that the spin won't make it curve left or right.
