Just picked up an M4s for my new rifle. The rifle has a standard FSB. Should I zero the Aimpoint using the front sight? Or zero it just above the front sight. On one of my other rifles I run the Comp M3 but that rifle has flip up sights so I zeroed it with the sights down. Or am I over-thinking it and just go zero it?

If I may jump onto his thread here. Does one zero the Iron sights first, then the red-dot? This is how I tend to operate... I usually zero the bare rifle and then mount and zero the optics. Assuming a lower 1/3rd co-witness, you can get a pretty good zero on the optics without even putting any ammo down range using your zeroed irons as starting point. Then again, I've never had to do much tweaking with my compM2s... they are pretty spot on out of the box in my experience. Or perhaps, I've just been lucky.
