| hello friends pls whats the best range to zeroing the m16a1 25m or 50 m and the aimpoint over the carry handle thks for ur helps |

Due to the nature of A1 sights you would probably be best off using the 50 yard BZO for your irons. But having the CCO so far above your bore you might not use the same logic. Try it and see if you like it. The 50 yd BZO is just about the best for reflex type shooting. JohnM at Home |
On my carbine with CH mounted Aimpoint I use the 25m zero for the irons and the 50m zero for the optic. I have yet to engage targets out past 75m with it, but at that range I can make soda cans dance. My intent at the next up coming range sessions will be to put the thing on paper at 50m, 100m and 150m to get a better idea.

I would recommend a 50 yrd BZO over a 50 mtr. No other reason than most pistol/ rifle ranges use yards for their target locations and backdrops which makes it easy to set out your paper. BUT you can take a cardboard box, if your range allows this, and staple your paper target to it and walk it out the few extra yards for the 50mtr cal. For dot size I would say start with any dot 2 inch and above, depending on your eyesight and shooting abilities. Remember at 50 yrds 1/2" is roughly 1/2 MOA for your sight adjustments.
