Zero-ing Newbie. Please help.

[jcaliburr]

I would like to learn how to zero in my carry handle sights and learn the functions of each adjustment knob. Can someone point me in the right direction? At this point I know nothing.

Do a search for "improved battlesight zero" and you'll find several threads on different forums that explain everything in great detail.

I myself prefer a 100 yard zero but I don't use rear sights with elevation adjustments.

look on youtube on how to zero an AR. everything is on youtube these days. I find it hard to ask questions anymore with you tube having all the answers.

Shoot it @ 100yds. Someone at the range had 2 brand new out of the box with carry handles and found out it was already zeroed @100yds.

He let me shoot both and yes they were zeroed.

Thank you sir. This was very helpful.

Maybe I need to work on my search "wording". I wasn't able to find any videos with what I was looking for.

My Stag Arms was zeroed from factory as well, but I removed the carry handle to play with a scope. Best case scenerio, it will need minor adjustment. But since I'm gonna own this "tool" (and a few more to come as my addiction is growing) I better know as much as possible about it.

You may need to find a 25M BZO target, or make due with something else, but the procedure is there. It also addresses your questions about the direction to turn the knobs.

Here's a good chart that explains why 25M :
