Howdy everyone...

Got a chance yesterday to get my T-1/Larue mount out to the range yesterday for zeroing and was able to narrow my groups down to .50 inches (POA=POI) shooting from the bench with elbow rests only. This was with a 16" Sabre midlength (GI trigger) shooting LCXM193 at 50 yards.

At 100 yds, I was able to put maybe 20 of 28 rds into approximately a 5 inch circle about 2 in. above the bullseye (POA).

Should I be happy with that or should I zero at a different distance where POA=POI? Or is that what everyone refers to as minute of man accuracy and about as good as one needs for/with the T-1?

The 50yd zero should put POI approx. 2 inches high at 100yds, zero at 200yds and about 2.5-3" low at 300yds.

This is a pretty good place to start your zero, because from the muzzle to 300yds your elevation is within 3" of where you are aiming.

Looks like I should be good to go I guess...

I was going to zero at 25 yds but the rounds were hitting the ground in front of the berm which is against the range rules so I figured I'd go out to 50....

That's fine shooting.

I thought it was a different kind of thread. The ACLU IS NOT an acceptable group. The NRA IS an acceptable group. That's where I was going.....
