First off, sweet rifle. DP. never looked so good. Second off, I now run all my battle rifles with a 36 yard zero after watching Shawn’s video years ago. It’s one of those “set it and forget it” type of things

I have a 5.56 and .300 blackout both zeroed at 36 yards.

When I used the 36 yard(33m) zero , I'm 9.5 inches high at 225 m then back to zero at 325m. Using the 50m zero , the highest the bullet gets over line if sight is 3.4 inches at 160m then back to zero at 250m. . I'm using the 50m zero.

That's cool and I've given it serious consideration, I still like the 50 yard. From point blank to ~250 yards, the whole thing should group in an area about the size of your palm. Edit: This is 5.56 55 grain through a 16" barrel.

50 yard zero. check out Johnny tactical the 50 yard zero. Zeroed my rifle in at 50 yards yesterday. Very happy.

50 yards is fine but most optics use a 14.5” barrel with 77 grain ammo when they recommend 50 yards. 36 is good for 10.3-11.5” barrels with 55 grain. It all depends on your setup

And if you could stretch out further you would see how well it works out to distance too.

Know this: your zero is just a placeholder. It works with a ballistics calculation for the cartridge you are shooting. So after chronographing the cartridge create a ballistics calculation from a ballistics app and then you will know the exact holdover needed to get good center mass hits on a target which appears at any distance you have ranged. BTW, a 36 yard zero from a 20 inch barrel shooting M193 will see line of sight and bullet path intersecting again at about 250 yards and if you are shooting an E type target with center mass hold the bullet path will be no more than 10 inches high at about 170 meters or no more than 10 inches low at about 350 meters. This is referred to as a battle sight zero.

Keep in mind that if it’s 4 inches high at 100 yards it will be even higher at 150 yards.

I prefer the 270 yard zero.

36 yard zero only works on a 2.25 inch SOB. For any other SOB you need to zero at a different distance: kzitem.info/news/bejne/q6p7smGFomZ_hY4

I keep going back and forth on whether i want to do 36 or 50. Im gonna sight mine in today. I was set on 36, but i think im gonna do 50. The spread will actually be tighter using 50 out to 250 yards. It drops off alot at 300 though. I dont really see myself shooting over 200 yards. So the 50 yard 0 will be tighter for me. Both are really good though.

I was undecided until I tested all my rifles in the wild. I wanted a battle zero (BZO) that worked well on the move regardless of barrel length with either an Aimpoint or Eotech. I ultimately settled on a 36-yard zero. Even with an 11.5-inch barrel, I could easily hit center mass on 10" round targets out to 350-400 yards with a slight lollipop hold extending to 400 plus. For my rural, open environment 🏜, it's the best all-around BZO. The 50/200 zero offers a bit more accuracy, but unless you're bench shooting, a set-it-and-forget-it zero is preferable. I noticed I had to compensate for wind beyond 250 yards, which isn't easy while on the move and standing. Remember, in a real SHTF firefight, targets won't be still while you take your time on a bench rest or prone position. Give it a try next time, and you'll understand what I mean 👍🏻

Not sure if you took your moa reticle into the equation for your groups. Try adding a magnifier for the longer shots. If you have a 4 M.O.A reticle add that to your group size. All my Vortex Strikefire 2's on my AR-15's(yes, they all run the same optics and hardware) are 4 M.O.A dots and all my Vortex LPVO's on my other AR-15's and AR-10's are 1 M.O.A and all my AR's have 36yd zero's. All my handguns are 3 M.O.A dots and sighted at 10 yards.

Yeah, that optic is for airsoft. That 36yrd is a very good zero.

With a 36 yard zero you should be 3.5 to 4 inches high so good shot.

You might want to edit the information in your description. You said you will be held responsible. Might want to add a not in there lol. Good video nonetheless. Subscribed.
