I went to the range the other day and I am just wondering if what I did was correct.  This is what I did:
First, I zeroed my Matech BUIS on the 300m setting at a 25 yard target per the Matech instructions for a carbine, so as to be able to use the range settings correctly.
After I had established my zero, I put on my RX06 Reflex to zero that.  
I adjusted the Matech so it was on the 200m setting, and then looking down the peep hole to the front sight, I adjusted the Reflex's orange triangle so the tip of the triangle was dead center on the front sight post and flush with it.

SO, I am thinking that since I zeroed the Matech as the instructions told me to so that I can use the different settings correctly, by putting the Matech on the 200m setting and then zeroing the optic like that, my reflex triangle has a 200m zero.  With this reasoning, since the 200m setting is closest to the RBIZ 50/215m setting, my reflex because it is zeroed with the Matech on the 200m setting will have a zero close to that of a RBIZ, while the Matech will retain all of its range adjusting capabilities.  Right or wrong?  Thanks!

I had to read it though a couple of times to follow you, but I do believe you are correct.

I wouldn't rely on using your iron sights to zero in another sight. Best to zero in your sights independantly of eachother.

I've done what you're talking about before (dialing a red dot to the tip of my front sight), but you will find that you are actually off on paper when using a spotter scope. If dead on balls accuracy is your intent then shoot at some paper and dial it in properly some time.

Personally ... I like knowing that I can ping a cat dead in the head at 50-100 yards with confidence
