re: Sighting in a Rifle: Do you put the target dead-center or just below the target?

Do you "lollipop" also known as the 6 o'clock method, which is when the scope dot is just below the target?

No. This is the first I've ever heard of that.

Or do you put the scope dot on the point of impact, essentially where the bullet hole should go?

Yes. I sight in my guns/scopes w/ the intent of the bullet hitting where the intersecting crosshairs are being held on the target, understanding there's some expected variation for bullet drop. For deer hunting, my scoped handguns are sighted to be 1 1/2"-2" high at 100 yds.
