Hey guys, I've tore this forum apart looking for the directions on how to zero a Matech. At one time I thought they were posted but I can't find them. A buddy gave me a brand new Matech w/out the directions. I've mounted it and am ready to zero. I think I turn the elevator knob to the white line just after 300 and then zero in at 25 yards or meters? I dunno? Then once I'm POA/POI at 25 then I should be dead on at each of the dedicated elevation points - right? I assume then for CQC I just leave the setting at the zero mark for 0-30 yard work? Am I close? Help! |

Sorta, With a 14.5 or 16" barrel carbine you zero and leave it on the 300 mark. A 20" rifle you zero on the white line mark, then move to whatever range mark you want after the zero is complete. With zero only use the windage knob and the front sight for adjustments. Zero distance is 25 meters/ 82 feet. Point of aim/point of impact sighting; no 6 oclock hold stuff. For close combat.....................do not use the MATECH. Hole is too small. Get a Knights or ARMS or something that has a large hole. MATECH is good if it is free. You will find that the sight flips up when you do not want it to after it has been used. |

i too do not have instructions for the matech. today i went out to zero the rifle and when i zero it at 25 yds it doesnt hit the target anywhere at 100 yds.. it was very dissapointing wasting ammo and even my wasr-10 was hitting at 100 no problems... can someone please scan a copy of the matech instructions? |
IMO...a 25 yard zero is not a very good zero if you intend to use it for anything other than very close quarter usage. Take a look at the 8th post in this thread which shows a couple different zeroing methods: Bullet Path If you zero at 25 yards you will be about 6 inches high at 100 yards and almost 10 inches high at 200 yards. I zero for 50 yards using the IBZ method. Looking at that same graphic a 50 yard zero allows you to hit anything from near muzzle to 225 yards and be less than a couple inches high or low. When I recently zeroed my Matech I set it to 200 (meters) and using a 50 yard target. This is the IBZ method. ETA: Also see the Maryland AR15 - Zeroing Methods mentioned in that post. The "Bubba Zero" is the 25 yard zero. |
