how many feet is the iron sites cited in for? how may feet does the scope need to be zeroed in at?

The sights on my Air Hawk are completely useless. Barrel droop doesn't let the sights point down enough. To get a scope to point low enough, I had to really work on the front ring. Shim up the back, lower the front and then try to zero it in.

They are not sighted in from the factory at all. Typically I set the iron sights up at 100 feet, but with the scope mounted you won't be able to use them. They are excellent sights if you choose to use them alone. The scope that comes with the rifle is OK too; zero it to 120 feet and you can easily adjust your aim for greater or lesser ranges.

That is a great question. I zeroes mine at 100 yards and I am struggling to hit a 12 inch metal gong at 200. I am not sure what is going on because I am dead on at 100 but moving out , I can't hit the broadside of a barn. I am shooting an ar-15 standard size barrel and fmc rounds. Nothing fancy. I can hit the 200 with iron sights so I don't think I am the problem. Good luck

Very easy to site in. Put on my shotgun, used a bore sighter, and zeroed in at about 30 feet (maximum range and that would be a BIG room).I have not shot it since installing it, but I know it is NOT coming off, can let you know after I put 20 or so rounds thru it.

Yes, Allen wrench slots allow for precise zeroing. I have it mounted on my FN Five-seveN and it's bright and accurate out to around ten yards.

I do not think there is enough clearance to use a scope with a fixed site...I can use my one-inch rail mount to sight through if I loose my scope..

Reads 50 yards but turns lower. It appears to be good for site view as close as about 25 feet. I could not be happier with this scope. I put it on a .22wmr ruger american rimfire. Good luck.

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 shoot factory a d reloaded 55gr fmj's, haven't done much testing beyond 100yds, but what I have done has been accurate. Scope is clear and focuses well throughout magnification range and has had no issue holding zero.

1 inch. Any standard scope mount should work. I look and found a light that came with the mount. It works great at spotting eyes up to 200 yards but you can not make out the body at that distance.

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.

It will focus out to as far as you can see. From 10yards to "infinity" but yeah few hundred yards is more like it. Unless you are putting it on a high power PCP Air gun then its really too much scope.

I did mine at 20-25 yards. I took the scope off, however, and just use the iron sights. I bought this to eliminate a skunk infestation on my homestead. most of my shots were under 20 yards and at night. I mounted a tactical flashlight under the barrel and preferred to use the iron sights as it gave me better visibility of the area around the target should the target move and I have to use a follow up shot.

I have a Remington 597 with a 3-9X40 scope and and I have plenty of clearance for my iron sights. The bottom of the tube of the scope looks like it sits about an inch above the receiver with the mounts I have.

I texted mine out for you. We were able to measure as low as 7 feet but we measured 2 points. One on the bottom and one on the top. This laser is worth it. It is very easy to use and very accurate. I recommend it.

I mounted this on a shotgun that is for home security, therefore accuracy at more than 25 feet or so isn't needed. It can be adjusted so depending on your application, it may need to be adjusted for height or windage.

best distance to Zero a hammer scope is as far away as you can throw it!!! If you plan on using it on a spring piston gun then you better spend a little more and get a scope that will hold a zero.

there are instructions with the scope, but i put a laser pointer in the bolt slot at 25ft and matched the scope to that.
