I've tried all of those! I had a Armson OEG, which i could never get zeroed, on a FAL , a Weaver Quik Point on a Rem. 870, and an Aimpoint Mk Ii with the 3x attachment.

It stands to reason that a 20mm square (like an ACRO) projecting collimated light from all points on the lense would be a 20mm red square going backwards in space.
