I am putting a red dot on a 5.45 and a 7.62 gun. What range do you zero at for a good solid battle sight zero on these guns. I am NOT talking about how to zero the irons.
Thanks |

I zero mine at 25m yards regardless; 250/300m is the farthest you'll go with 7.62x39 realistically.
5.45 is very similar to 5.56, and there are quite a few ways to bsz for that caliber, but again, I zero mine at 25m; again, not that you'd typically be shooting farther than 300m with a red dot... |

Try this thread
another one Keep in mind that if you zero your rifle out to 100m that you have your elevation on your rear sight set to 100m, it will translate through different ranges when you adjust in case you didn't know that already |

I used to do that "set the rear sight at 1 and zero at 100".. then I just decided I'd rather just have a battlesight zero that doesn't require and holdover/under out to reasonable "combat ranges."
I zero pretty much everything at 25 yards. The Winchester ballistics app on my phone says that puts the round pretty much dead on at 25 and 200 yards. Just a half inch low at 200. 15 inches low at 300. Couple inches high at 100. For comparison, a 50 yard zero is 6 inches low at 200, and 2 feet low at 300. At 100 it's pretty much zeroed. 25 yard zero seems the best to me, but if really depends what kind of shooting you are doing. |
