I will be going to the range today to sight in an Aimpoint on an 18.5" build. I'm wondering what distance I should sight it in at.
I have the irons set up for a 100 yard zero, and will be able to use them to dial out to further ranges.
I do not intend to do any dialing on the aimpoint so I'd like to find a battle zero and keep it there. Maximum range I will use the Aimpoint for is probably 300 yards. Beyond that I will likely switch to irons. I guestimated the sight height as 2" above bore as it is mounted on an EBR rail. My options are:
25 yards, Very close to zero at 300, however up to 5" high for much of the range in between.
50 yards, POI very close to POA out to 200 yards. Quickly drops off after that
100 yards, Least distance where POI close to POA, however I am familiar with drops due to shooting many other rifles at this range
200 yards, About 1.5" high out to 200. After 200 it drops quickly
I'm thinking the 200 yard zero is looking the best so far. Has anyone done this and what worked for you?
