At what range would you zero to make 200 or 300 shots and maintain 50 yd,shots.

The best thing I can say is wen I was in the Marines, our battleground zero (standard/default zero) was 300 yards. I didn't have an eotech in the corps. Just iron sights on my m16a2 (20" barrel). I can also tell you the trajectory of a 5.56 NATO ball round at 36 yards is the exact same as it is at 300 yards. We zeroed at 36 yards. Again, iron sights only. It should be the same with the eotech. The range you choose to zero is all about the trajectory of the round. I don't see where an eotech would change where you should set your zero. Everything I know about my ar, I learned from my marine corps service rifle 20 years ago. I hope this helps.

Personal I use this in my AR-15 and it's primarily a CQB weapon for me. I'd suggest outfitting another weapon for distance and use this site on a CQB weapon.

I ask the staff at my local range and they say to zero in at 50 yards. After you zero in at 50 yards, you should be able to make those long range shot at 200 yard. Not so sure if this will work for the 300 yard range.

GET A Flip MAGNIFIER!!! Zero at 50. Then zero at 300. Count clicks and that'll tell you how many clicks there are between them. Divide the yardages by clicks. So many clicks=so far and so on. I personally prefer my own method. I set it where I want it, then just aim high km?

I've shot at 100 yards with good groupings, the 3x zoom makes it so much nicer than the plain red-dots for distance. 200 yards would probably not be bad at all either, depending on what you are trying to hit.

I would fire at 100 yards, Michael. But I have been bore sighting my firearms for years and I have had good success. Try it at at 50, see where you hit, then move accordingly. Happy shooting!

Depends on skill and vision but shot pigs at 300 meters without a lot of trouble. Marine corp uses to 600

If this is an AR-15, go on the internet and download the M16A2 or M4 25 meter zeroing target that the Armed Forces use. Go to the range and zero out the scope at 25 meters. The rifle should perform up to accurately up to 250/300 meters. See: http://armypubs.army.mil/doctrine/DR_pubs/dr_a/pdf/fm3_22x9c1.pdf

Yes zero at center say 50yds.then shoot remaining reticles each at 100yds. adjust as needed.

That all depends on the shooter and the round. I believe the 300 BLK has an effective range of 600 yards or so. It's a great scope that's for sure. Silver dollar groups at 100 yards but I'm not a great shooter either.

How well do you shoot? This scope will do fine the effective range of a 5.56 is about 600 yards with perfect conditions.
1186502
Yes. But I see it would be hard to down anything small farther than 20 yards. Accuracy is the problem. Practice is the solution for that range.

The scope is calibrates to the AAC 300 BLK cartridge, which has a maximum effective range of 400 meters. Field of View is 12.7-44.5 ft @ 100 yds, depending on the level of magnification. It is NOT a bench shooting scope as the reticle WILL cover a 4" target at ranges beyond 200 meters.
1408009
Definitely 25 yards. It took me 10 - 15 rounds to zero in at 25 yards. Boresighter is just gets you on the paper at 25yds. general

This is a great question, because a .308 is good for up to 600 Yards. Per the answer from Larry below, if the beam is off-center, and has a variation of 1/8" at 12 inches, using simple trigonometry, at 100 yards the dot (assuming you could even see it), would be + or - 37 inches; that is more than ONE YARD off. So, if this toy is useless to zero a rifle, then... what is it for? To play with a cat? too expensive.

I guess it depends on what kind of shooting you want to do. Some of the self defense guys around here are shooting at 7 yards, and that would be fine if your loads aren't too hot. I'm used to IHMSA and more powerful loads, and use this target at mostly at 50 yards for them and it dimples, but it can handle a .45 up pretty close I think.

20-30 shots. In an actual match you might need two or three cartridges. Depends too on how much you fire...

It depends on shooter skill, power of the rifle, and how good your eyes are, but realistically I think right around 250 yards your groups would be starting to get kinda wide.
1186505
probably, though I would keep the distance within 5 yds or so. After that, any amount of wind will throw the shot off. Why would you want to shoot small birds anyways? Killing anything that isn't small game for fun is pretty messed up

Accuracy is pretty good for about 200 feet but that's with good paint and no wind, only other thing to increase range and accuracy is an apex barrel for a scenario gun. Good paint is always a huge part. Bad paint makes balls fly every where and let's face it were not playing at a stripclub
