AR Zero for a HD AR

Zero for 25 yards. Then just redo zero once you can access a longer outdoor range.

I mean you stated this will be a HD gun. So unless you are shooting out to 100 yards then just zero what you can for now.

I like a 50/300 yard zero. As it implies, it will put rounds in a 4 inch circle all the way to 300 yards. No need to worry about holdover or holdunder.

+1. 50 yds is my goto.

I think a 25 yards zero is supposed to also be a 200 yd zero. It's basically point blank from 15 to 200 yards.

You dont have any BLM near by?

50, you never know if you need to hit ranges the rifle was designed for. Know your hold

Looks like you already answered your question. 25yd range limitation.

Verify your sight reticle height over bore and do your 25yd zero keeping that in mind.

*I have been using a 35yd zero on all of my 16"bbl AR clones. Trajectory stays very flat from 25 to 300yds. "hunter's zero" has become "maximum point blank range zero"
The spread is about 6"-7" max through the trajectory depending on the ammo used.
Point and shoot, hold on the target and you connect.

*The other zeros like the 50yd & 100yds fall off the table at longer ranges (250-300yds) and then the holds really kick in.

*100yd zero at @25yds is a POI 1 1/2" - 2" low depending on height over bore and ammo.

House rifle is set to 25 yards. That covers the entire lot.

So how do I get a 35 yard zero at a 25 yard range? What holdover am I looking for???

There’s an app for that! I use Strelok but there’s others.

You can't sight in on those guys, they keep moving around.

You're wayyyy overthinking it....it's a rifle, and not even at shouting distances

I'm surprised no one has asked which zero Kyle Rittenhouse used.
