Those of you running a K model at what range do you zero the optic ( red dot ) ? I’m thinking 15 yards ?

I've set my initial zero at 15, but open to changing it. So far, it seems to be the best.

I zero at 25 yards... and check hold at 100 yards. I shoot 147, and find that loads around 1000 fps are about 6" high at 100. Depending on your hold, you are good for point black out too 100+ yards..
And yes, for a backpack, shtf, truckgun, etc... type weapon, I prefer to know what the gun and round is capable of. |

The iron sight HOB on an MP5 is about 2-1/8 inches, so that would have a pretty big shift in those drop curves.

And as a side note the top of the front sight ring is right in the freaking way of the dot. Drives me crazy. I may have to take a cutoff wheel to it. |

I installed a Holosun 507C with a Titan Tactical Designs single claw mount and it's perfect for my AP5-P as the dot sits right above the front sight.

Or this guy. That thing is 5 stories up. He can't even see his sights. He needs a good cheek riser , just to get a good chin weld   Attached File |
