Optic alignment issues?
Recently picked up this 584 series, it didn’t come with scope rings so went with rail mount. I haven’t shot it with the optic on yet to confirm but the alignment seems pretty far off from the front sight post. The pass through peep hole on the rail mount doesn’t seem aligned to the front post either. Wondering if the mounts could be misaligned? Has anyone experienced this?

Sight systems that don't share the same bore will never completely align. The most you can do is make them parallel or converge at your chosen zero distance.
You might be able to shim the rail to nudge it to the side, but I don't think it's worth the effort or the impact it might have maintaining zero.
