In discussing the "need" for an AR 15 in another thread, it brought to mind I recently zeroed my Savage MSR Recon with a new Vortex UH-1 sight and I'm curious what distance others zero their AR 15 rifles (36 yards? 50/200 yards? 100 yards?).
I did a quick zero on mine at an indoor range. I wanted a 50/200 zero, but my indoor range doesn't go to 50 yards, so I recalculated at 10 yards. For my setup (2.85" above bore scope shooting 62 gr. .223/5.56, I figured I should be about 1.9" below point of aim at 10 yards.
Hopefully I'll get a chance to hit an outdoor range soon to validate that. The 50/200 yard zero seemed to be one of the more popular zeros, but I'm curious if others zero differently.
