After reading instructions on zeroing it turns out I have match sights.  How do I zero with these sights?

Same way you zero with non-match sights, only the windage is 1/4" instead of 1/2", so the left/right clicks will move POI 1/4" at 100 yards, or 1/2" at 200 yards. If your rear sight is a national match type, the elevation will still be 1/2" clicks.

No big deal.

I used the following methd at a 100 yard range:

Bottom out the rear sight, then add five clicks. This is your mechanical bottom setting. Use the front sight to get the shot group in the '10' ring. This is your mechanical zero. You now have enough rear sight elevation to shoot from the 600 yard line without touching the front sight. You also have a little depression left for practice at 100 yards.
