4 minutes in and you are already missing reality. The 25 meter zero was based on the M16 with a 20 inch barrel and M193 with iron sights. Using a PDF of the operator's manual (Page 2-19) from that rifle shows that zeroing the rifle with the rifle set on the L (long range) rounds crossed over at 25M and 375M, flip that sight to short range and the crossovers are 62M (if I am remembering correctly, its been a few decades) under an inch high at 100M peaks at 3 1/2 inches at about 175M (decades ago) and drops to crossover again at 250M. Maximum vertical offset of 3 1/2 inches over 250 meters is great for a combat rifle. The funny part about that is that the 25 meter zero range predates the M16. Do a little digging and you will probably find that the M1 Garand was zeroed at that distance during WWII. The range is an effective distance to get people on paper, analyze groups and provides for a much smaller footprint for training area/range. Later you start talking ballistics and you invert the speeds. the M193 leaves the barrel much faster than the 62 grain M855. Shorten the barrel to 14 1/2 inches with the slower round and now you have a not so flat shooting carbine. As a matter of fact until the arrival of the 77 grain ammo, Army marksmanship relied on the 55 grain ammo out to 400M because it was more accurate than M855, If the shooting involved going to 600M the heavier 7.62X51 in the accurized M14s. Here is the reference: pdf.textfiles.com/manuals/MILITARY/united%20_states_army_tm_9-1005-249-10%20-%2011_may_1990.pdf

KZitem has eaten this reply a half-dozen times. Anyway I never said M855 was faster than M193. I said M855A1 was faster out of a 14.5 barrel than M193. Subtle but important difference

That shooting at the belt buckle is from the civil war when black powder guns had a rainbow arch so from the factory so the revolver shot about a foot high at 25 yards.

I did the Colonel Santos(?) 50 yard zero where you take your rear sight apart and put the detent in a different slot so you can zero at 50 yards and the sight would still be calibrated using XM193 ammo. Since then, I've been using Magpul BUIS sets and zeroing everything at 50 yards and then checking my offset at 25 yards. Right now my main rifle has an offset red dot zeroed at 25 yards and the LPVO is zeroed at 100 yards. At my house, there are very few places where I can see anything past 100 yards without trees or hills getting in the way.

The Texas Rangers used Colt Peterson revolvers that were even more primitive than that. It had a separate load lever that was used when the cylinder was removed from the pistol. That led to the Walker revolver, which was a bit more stout. :)

Ummm, let me think...maybe because I don't have access to an outdoor range? Not everyone has the ability to just go to a 300-meter range. Sometimes, you got to do what you got to do.

That's perfectly valid, tbh. If all you've got is 25 that's all you've got

What is not coming down in price is the CZ Shadow 2 Compact. Bought one anyway and now just trying to find extra mags and an extended safety, might be easier to find a purple unicorn.

WTF is Adult Money???? is money not money, does money not all spend the same!!! Oh! here is a fud comment, in my opinion suppressors/silencers suck! just because what suppressor/silencer companies charge for them, plus the tax stamp cost, and the little that they do, I mean to each their own.. I'm a poor and do not have $1k to drop an a silencer/suppressor, besides if I had that kinda money I would spend it on my wife or kids. I believe like the old saying goes, they are the flavor of the year, and next year, suppressors/silencers will be a thing of the past! till something new comes along and replaces them
