Not really, except that nothing will really change except that you're out more money, and your zero won't be as accurate.
Zeroing at 25 yards with the L aperture is only approximate, and you are supposed to then flip back to the close-range aperture, giving you something fairly close to the 50 yard zero. The L aperture is only used for ranges beyond 250m. You're better off with things as they are, IMO. -Troy |

Troy I can shoot better with the A1 aperture rather than the ASHLEY its just to big for me!
Ive put my A1 aperture in now. Should i zero the L aperture at 25m then Flip back like the book says! I know the A1 aperture is on different planes Long range and Short range? |

Quoted: Troy I can shoot better with the A1 aperture rather than the ASHLEY its just to big for me! The Ashley isn't meant for precision - its meant for speed (e.g. it's irons for 'fighting). Should i zero the L aperture at 25m then Flip back like the book says! Only if you have a 20" barrel (or Dissapator setup). It doesn't quite work for the carbine - for the carbine you're better off with the 50y zero. |

Hi Forest master of the Carbine!
The Best I can Do is to keep all my rounds into a 2 inch square with the Ashley aperture useing the smaller hole? Im ashamed! So if I zero the Long range aperture on the A1 irons at 50yards what would be my Zero for the Short Range aperture? |

Quoted: Hi Forest master of the Carbine! LOL! Hardly! The Best I can Do is to keep all my rounds into a 2 inch square with the Ashley aperture useing the smaller hole? Im ashamed! If you can keep your rounds in a roughly 2" group at 50 yards that is darn fine shooting - you should be happy. So if I zero the Long range aperture on the A1 irons at 50yards what would be my Zero for the Short Range aperture? Around 308M IIRC for a 16" barrel using M193 at sea level with standard conditions. With a rifle if you follow the manual (L @25m) you get a 42/250M zero for the unmarked and a 25M/375M for the 'L' aperture. |

I zeroed my A1 uppers at 150yds with the short range
aperature, and when you flip to the long range aperature it is dead on at about 350-375yds. Any farther than that and I use the scope. Or a bigger caliber. Might not be perfect, but it works for me. Scott |
