I've used various zeros over the years and find it odd there is no general consensus on what is the
ideal zero to use.
Many revert back to the older Soviet manual procedure which would allow for NATO targets to be engaged out to 800-1000m
I have used the following zeros:
1.) Slider set on "1" - target at 25m / 22y - shoot for POA/POI
2.) Slider set on "2" - target at 25m / 22y - shoot for POA/POI
3.) Slider set on "1" - target at 100 yards - shoot for POA/POI
4.) Slider set on "1" - target at 50 yards - shoot for POA/POI (similar groupings to 100 yards - also easier distance to use)
and so forth.... all have worked well within the 200 yards I shoot, but have minor variances.
Optics get zero'd at 50 yards and confirmed at 100 (ultimak).
Have a new addition to the family coming and was thinking about how I want or
should zero it once its here. This will be a 200 yard max rifle - sure I might take shots out to 300 with it for fun - but I want to get the best overall "set it and forget it" zero.... no need to adjust the ladder - just something that will provide hits in a 6" vertical spread (if possible).
What is my best course of action here?
