| About to finish my first build and was just wondering what is a good yardge to sight it in. |
You're going to have to tell us more than this. Are you shooting with optics or iron sights? What distances do you typically shoot? Purpose of the rifle?  I only have access to 25, 50, and 100. My red dot is zeroed at 50yds, which only puts me a couple inches high at 100. My A2 BUIS is zeroed at 50yds bottomed out using the Improved Battlesight Zero, once again putting me a couple inches high at 100. Then I can click up to the "4" which puts me dead on at 25yds and 400 yds. Or if I needed to, click to the 6/3 which puts me dead on at 300 and 600. My 10/22 with a 4X scope is zeroed at 50 yds. My Savage 10FP .308 is zeroed at 100yds. It all depends. State some more info, and we can help you better. Send me an IM if you have questions, but post them here as well. |
| For your stated purpose I'd lean toward 100 yards. If you know you will be usually working at a shorter distance, I'd pick that one. If you are looking to use it for protection or street work, then I'd go with a 50 yard zero knowing that will give me +/- a couple inches high or low of point of aim all the way out to 200+ yards. |

If you're shooting at 25-100yds, I'd definitely go this route... groups.msn.com/TheMarylandAR15ShootersSite/improvedbattlesightzero.msnw To each their own. |
