zero distance

[paddyraid]

I just mounted an accupower 1-8 on a SCAR 17. what's the best zero distance for that scope and rifle? I zeroed the irons according to the manual but don't really know about the scope zero distance. thanks.

I would say 100 Yards would be a good distance.

I use Maximum Point Blank Range (MPBR). The article is about ARs, but can be applied to any firearm

that's what I initially zeroed at yesterday. but when I asked my friend what he zeroed his SCAR 17 scope at he said:

"mine is zeroed at 50 yd. 308 and 5.56 have same ballistics to 400+ yd. 50 yard zero allows you essentially point blank out to 250. beyond that you can use dials or reticle to compensate for elevation."

so I was like hmmmmm…..

Some do 25yd zero and some do 50 yd zero. If you do that it's meant to give you relatively the same POA/POI at 200yds without needing to use dopes. But that's if your velocities are in the 3kish range. Obviously if you use lighter loads or a varying assortment of bullet weights it could change the POA/POI, the battle zero is a general approximation.
