How to mount a Aimpoint ACRO P-2 on a Weaver base: it is a Aimpoint ACRO / Steiner MPS enclosed-emitter reflex, so it needs a Weaver-compatible Aimpoint ACRO / Steiner MPS mount, not a Picatinny one.

Fit a Aimpoint ACRO P-2 on a Weaver base
The Aimpoint ACRO P-2 is a Aimpoint ACRO / Steiner MPS optic. Here is the Weaver-compatible mount it needs and why a Picatinny footprint mount may not seat on a Weaver slot.
The Aimpoint ACRO P-2 is a Aimpoint ACRO / Steiner MPS optic, so it needs a Aimpoint ACRO / Steiner MPS mount. On a Weaver base that mount has to be a Weaver-compatible version: Weaver slots are narrower and spaced differently from Picatinny, so a full-width Picatinny recoil lug may not drop in.
If the only Aimpoint ACRO / Steiner MPS mount you can find is Picatinny-cut, the cleaner fix is to replace the Weaver base with a Picatinny rail, then use the standard Aimpoint ACRO / Steiner MPS Picatinny mount. Check the mount clamps square before locking it down.

Questions and answers
Fit a Aimpoint ACRO P-2 on a Weaver base?
The Aimpoint ACRO P-2 reaches a Weaver base through a Weaver-compatible ACRO-plate Picatinny mount. A Picatinny version of the same footprint mount may not seat, because its 5.23 mm recoil lug can be too wide for the 4.57 mm Weaver slot. Buy the Weaver-cut mount, or fit a Picatinny base first.
