I have a proper and correct target for zeroing the aforementioned rifle, but while it is for a 25 meter/1000 inch range, it has nothing but a grid and the aiming target on it. Will windage marks on the grid be 5 clicks and the for elevation?

Without seeing the targets you have, if you have the target for M-16 sights, its one click for each square. If you have the M-4 target for M-16a2/m-16a4/M-4 sights its 3 clicks for windage, one click for elevation. I hope this helps.

I now have two types: one from the 1960s I was referring to earlier for the 25m/1000 inch range for both the M14 and the M16 series, with the "upside down" rear sight thingie and the 1990s revised version patterned after the A2 zero targets.

I will get it figured yet.

For the M16A1/M14 "Canadian Bullseye" target, it's 2 clicks windage or elevation to move one square on the target at 25 meters.

Easy way to zero a m16A1 is to use the Long Range (L) flip peep at 25 meters and shoot point of aim + point of impact. Then flip down to the short range aperture.

Master ColdBlue for the win!

The target in question was the "Canadian bullseye." Two clicks windage or elevation is cool.
