How the fuck does anyone sight in rion sights at 50-100 yards?

>sighting in new rifle, 50 yard zero
>get back to firing line, take aim
>wtf I can barely see the fucking 2 inch circle

Can't even imagine what zeroing at 100 with irons is like.

That's a 25 meter target. Use it at 25 meters, not 50. Did you read it at all ?

The black on an NRA certified 100 yard small bore target is 8 inches across. Relatively the same width as a standard front sight post at range.

>>33341681
I have an AR that I haven't properly zeroed in like 2 years. I have 20/20 vision and literally cannot see shit with an A2 post at 50 yards.

I'm not a rifle guy and shoot pistols a lot more but I'm going to try this target out next time I go out to the range.

It feels good when you compare targets with others at the range and see you're shooting better groups with irons when they're even using a scope

>>
>>33341681
use a spotting scope?

Best 70 bucks I spent so far this year. The amount of money on ammo and trouble alone makes it worth it. pick a cheap 20-60x and you'll have no trouble zeroing your rifles within 250m.
>>
>>33342144
Its seeing the tiny point of aim through the irons first before even checking your shots

>zeroing your sights
that takes all the fun out

>>33342016
>literally cannot see shit with an A2 post at 50 yards.
Unless it's a torso-sized target that's what you can expect. I've always thought AR irons were overrated as shit.
>>
>>33342199
You gotta divide up the front post in your mind at that point and use the surrounding target to guide you to where you want to aim. That's what I do anyway and it works like a charm
>>
>>33341951
I don't fucking understand this. The 25 yard zero is almost constant. why would you do any thing other than a 25 yard zero in that case?

It is just away to do something and have adjustable elevation from 100m/y and up. It is more for autism and wanting to know bullet drop off after peak elevation.

The 100y/m zero is a very flat trajectory with a fast drop off if your worried about targets behind what your shooting.

he's right though. suppressors make this worse as they get hot as fug and add mirage while keeping that barrel toasty + their own poi shift.

I zero'd my m16A2 clone at 25rds
Shoots well at 100yds

I can't see well enough to hit a 200yd target with irons.

Got a Colt 4x20 that won't hold zero
>>
Somebody on arfcom made a target that you can use at 25 yd but your zero will actually be at 50.
>>
>>33341681>>33341762

use a bigger target, if you are using your OP as a target, that is only meant to be a 25 meter zero. use one of the 12" black circles

>Got a Colt 4x20 that won't hold zero
it looks badass as fuck though and i think we can all agree thats what is most important here

>>33342036
Leg.

That is all.
>>
>>33342459
You're horrible at more than shooting. He's absolutely right and you are completely wrong. A hot barrel is no good if you're actually trying for cloverleaf groups.
>>
>>33342131
Are those 1" squares? So you can shoot 8-10" groups at 100 yards. That's not bad. It's not competitive, but you're as good as anyone who's been in combat with those same sights.
>>
>>33342804
Really?
I thought my eyes were starting to shit the bed or something
>>
>>33342826
Yes they aren't bad. and they will expand as your barrel heats up.

What software is this? I'm gonna try it next time I manage to go to the range.

>>33342877
Approximately how much cooldown time do people take between shots usually?
>>
>>33342918
That is pretty good man. Most of that could be fixed with consistent body position and eye

>>33342946
Your talking ten plus minutes before it really starts to cool after a grouping. Even longer for initial cold bore first shot ballistics.

and for the record, no one should be complaining about stock AR irons, they're extremely good. I shot this group from a completely stock Colt HBAR at 100yds. If you're having trouble duplicating this kind of accuracy, you need to work on getting a consistent sight picture above all else, with trigger pull being a close second in terms of importance.

Shitty ammo or wrong twist rate barrel for the ammo you're using. Using milsurp 855 or 193? 5.56 comes in a lot of flavors and not all barrels are good for all kinds of ammo.

What a bunch of fucking retards.

In the army I was shooting 40/40, and that was with dog shit guns from a pog armory.

I shoot sub moa from 500 with irons on my scar.

I'm screencapping this and reposting it every time I see some retard try and give advice. What a fucking joke.

The Norinco m14s, from what I understand, rarely surpass 3-4 moa, plus your cheap ammo isn't helping. You may have poor technique too. I'm not insulting, just suggesting.

>>33343804
He's probably embellishing a bit, especially since occasionally managed sub-MOA is not the same thing as consistently shooting sub MOA, but that said there are more then a few sub MOA iron sight groups posted in this thread, so it's not as if it's not possible

I love this. Everyone talks shit about how much better their guns are and they can't even see their 25m target at 50 yards.

You better not have a drivers license
>>
>>33341681
with ease actually . Hated these zero targets and they are simulated for certain distances without having to shoot at say 350mtrs you shoot at a 350mtr simulated its a lot easier than it looks
>>
>>33341762
just line up the sights with the center of the big black blob like everyone else

work on your consistency

>>33341681
Kids in Switzerland can do it at 328 yards, you have literally no excuse
