Newbie here, have had my AR15 for 6 months and just got a new EOTech. I'm not clear on how to properly zero the EOTech, so any answers to the questions below, as well as helpful pointers, would be appreciated...
Don't know if it matters, but the AR15 is a Bushmaster 16" carbine. The EOTech is mounted on ARMS SIR #50 Bi-level, also there is a ARMS #40 rear sight installed for BUIS purposes. I installed the taller .040" front sight post as recommended by Bushmaster when using the ARMS #40.
I plan on zeroing using the 50-yard IBZ method... although I don't have access to a 50 yard range, I do have access to a 200 meter range, and I'm assuming the IBZ will work when zeroing in at 200 meters (please correct me if I'm wrong about this).
Here are some general questions I have:
Am I supposed to first zero the iron sights "through" the turned-off EOTech?
Am I then supposed to zero the EOTech by aligning the 1MOA dot with the front sight post?
Is the 1MOA dot supposed to sit "just above" the front sight post while zeroing the EOTech or should the 1MOA dot be covering the tip of the front sight post?
I guess those are my only immediate questions, will probably have more after visiting the range and trying to get things dialed in. Thanks.
