I did have mine sighted for 25 and 50 yards, but on a recent outing the only lane open was a 100 yard lane. I resighted for 100 yards and did not change them. What do you guys have yours set for. BTW, I have 16" bbls.

A 50 yard zero is the way to go.  It will keep the bullet within about 2" of POA out to 250 yards or so.

It seems as if I had my head up my ass and did not pay attention to how many clicks it took to get that 100 yard zero. If I had I would back it down. Oh well.

The M68 should use the same zero as the iron sights.  And that remains [url=http://communities.msn.com/TheMarylandAR15ShootersSite/improvedbattlesightzero.msnw]Improved Battlesight Zero[/url] with an initial crossover at 50 yards.

If you zero at 100 yards your bullet will always be LOW except at 100 yards.  IBSZ is good to 250 meters without any adjustment on your part.

I sighted mine in at 250yds,  it gives me a point of impact at 100yds of five inches high and impact  three inches low at 300yds and at fifty yds the target is so big you will hit it no matter.  I shoot a 20 inch barrel with a 1-7 twist and 69 and 77 grain bullets.  most shooting I do is at 200yds and with the aimpoint I can hold two to three minute group sizes.
