I can not zero them. front sight is not seen in aperture even when placed very close to each other. any manuals or ideas what should be distance?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean exactly. But here are a couple things I would try: Move your sights farther apart (as far as possible), not closer, the longer your sight plane/picture the better accuracy. When sighting, perhaps start with the large open circle reticle, then flip to the small pin-hole after you sight in. Other than that, the only thing I could think of could be that you have the front sight mounted to a gas block, and the rear sight mounted to your flat-top rail. And those two parts are not the same height (gasblock is shorter) If so, move the front sight up onto the quad-rail (if yours has the same height as receiver rail height), if not, you need a gas block height front sight, or a fore end that is the same height as the rail on your receiver. You have to bring the sights onto the same plane, that's the jist of it. And if that still doesn't work, maybe you forgot to open your eye. lol. good luck.

I had it zeroed with the stock sights. With the new sight installed in a neutral position, I got it to mark on paper at 25 yards, adjusted it to bullseye, then did the same at 50 and 100 yards. I consider an iron sight rifle a 70 yard gun, so I did not try beyond 100 yards. With just a little "Kentucky windage" it is not to hard to get a rifle to mark a newspaper size sheet at 25 yards. If you have trouble, try 25 feet. You could use a bore scope if you have access to one, but I didn't so I used the above method.

I'm going to say that it won't stay zero'ed in. After several hundred rounds I am having trouble keeping it sighted in. It seems to be built well but is now getting out of adjustment easily. Hope this helps.

I purchased this sight system for a son. He seems to like it and has had no problems with the sighting system. Hope this helps you out.

Aloha John,That I don't know..I do know that this item is only a guide to centering..you'll still have to fine tune your zero by shooting!Sorry..I know that didn't answer your question brah.Al

the one I got is mil dot reticle in blue red and green. zero doesn't hold at different distances and I am having difficulty moving my group to center of target

there should be tiny horizontal and vertical adjustment screws and a tool that came with it to adjust the beam - make sure it is firmly mounted on your gun and then adjust up and down - note which direction of the screw turn moves it which way. I find a laser sight tool invaluable for this task and they are not expensive. just line up the dots for the laser and the sight tool at the distance you want to zero in on and you are good to go. and it is a good idea to recheck it when you change the batteries or have fired much since it may lose zero.

Directions were stuck up in the lid on mine. Look closely up there.The small set screw on the lower part of the left side is a lock screw. Loosen it before making any windage or elevation changes and tighten it when you are done. Clicks are 1 MOA. Make sure you get the reticle setting clicked solidly in place too. It will mess up the zero if you do not have it in the center.

Confirm Sixxdog's answer. They're ambidextrous. Consider also, if you cant the rifle 45º right, and you have a right hand ejection port, where are the empties going to go? Before you order, you might try firing a few rounds in the same shooting position you would use if you had these sights installed. Good luck!

the scope was trouble for me as well, i bought a simple red dot holograph and put it on there. worked better.

you may not want to hear this but the lens covers is useless anyway. when I mounted my scope on my Benjamin Marauder, the front lens cover notch won't let me turn my AO sight a full 360. like if I wanted to go from 25 yards to 100 yards the notch would stop the turn. just keep your rear cover and put on your sunshade and call it a day... happy hunting

I could not zero in with mine. Returned back to supplier. Amazon and the supplier provided timely response. Not much luck with lasers. Looks like scope and red dots are much easier to mount and reliable.

I have no problems with mine mounted on the rear sight base and it is holding zero.

I have posted on this scope before. It is not a reliable scope, at least for me, as I could never get it to ZERO. If you cant get the scope to zero, parallax is irrelevant. Assuming you CAN get this scope to zero at some range, you can use the poor man's parallax determination technique. It is painful, but it may help you find the parallax distance. When parallax is set correctly, you should be able to move your eye VERY SLIGHTLY left to right and up and down. If the TARGET stays in the crosshairs, you have found your parallax distance. If the target dances around the crosshairs, you have NOT found the correct parallax. I would recommend setting up targets every 5 yards from 25 to 100 yards(assuming you are using this as a rifle scope not an air rifle scope). This should help you locate the parallax. Most scopes would be at 100 yards, but I do not know what this scope is set up for. I would recommend this link http://www.pyramydair.com/article/What_does_AO_mean_September_2005/25 for some discussion on Adjustable Objective. The idea is to turn the objective bell while watching your target. When the view becomes clear, the parallax is correct. Also, a number of these AO scopes place DISTANCES on the bell. This can be used for adjusting your scopes to hit higher or lower (for people that have an understanding of scope DOPE). Either way, you should be able to get your parallax under control with the AO adjustments or a fixed adjustment of the AO at a known distance. All of my longer range optics have a separate adjustment knob for parallax excluding the 2.5-10 which has a fixed parallax at 100 yards. My 5.5 -25 and 5-22 and the 4-30 ALL have parallax adjustments on the side of the scope. Hope this helps.

Yes! I was at the range yesterday and that's actually one of the best ways to zero in the scope. Hold the AR rifle steady on a sandbag or whatever , aim at the target say 100 yards using the peep sight ,you then set your cross hair on that target....that easy, works for me. Oh and the mildot ?

Clean the front and back with the cloth that came with it, which you probably already did. If that didn't work, take a q-tip and clean (lightly) out the area where the light is projected from. There can be dust on in it. Blowing on it could help to. A lot of these cheaper sights don't have a perfectly smooth reticle. Mine is a little blurry.

Count on zeroing it again, plan on returning this sight, I returned three to cabelas before buying a vortex sparc and never having issues again
