How to use Lt Col Santose Improved battle zero for AR15

[jetfuel545]

@handgunlover After using the NM peep when I went to the standard A2 small peep it looked huge. Even the NM in good light you can stay right on target rapid fire.

@handgunlover agree, I never used to use the large aperture. The small one is fine for all types or range shooting.

There was a guy at the range a couple weeks that was using this zero. He was a highpower shooter and was shooting a Flat top DPMS that he had re barreled. it worked for him so he could shoot point of impact at 100, and 200 with the small aperture

This method makes sense. This gives you extra clicks to dial in your shots.

We used to zero at 250 Meters standard zero. It worked pretty good. O-2 aperatue is for 0-300 meters, and the "L" aperature is for 300+ ranges.

I would say this is a better zero though because with iron sights you need all the help you can get. Those shots are going to be everywhere trying to hit a scoped shooter behind a tree using a 175 meter zero @ 100 meters unless you do a 50 video retake for a video here on youtube! ;)

Miller did a RAGE correction video because of this video... He's busted again just reading this stuff directly from "The New" U.S. Army training manual.

He recommended that you flip the rear sight aperature to the O-2 aperature for a precision zero at 100 meters from 300 meter zero. LOLOLOL!

WTF! The only thing that is going to do is put him zeroed for 175 Meters! It's still not going to be as dead on a precision zero as this method of zero is!

Good video! As someone else on here says alot "There is more than one way to do things." LOL!

This way definitely gets the job done!

@handgunlover right. if the chest of the mantarget is the same with as the post then its at 175M if he is half the witdh he is at 300M ...thats right out of the book, it says 175..but in service we all said 150..that makes more sense to me.

A 5.56 55 gr FMJ with a 100 meter zero drops roughly 17.8 inches @ 300 which is 5.2 MOA. If you use a 300 meter zero that means you will be 5.2 inches high at 100 and 6.4 inches high at 200.

whos ar man

[Gloomshadow100]

@handgunlover yeah they change shit up over the years.

[Gloomshadow100]

there is also a way to estimate range by using the front blade sight. Its been so long sence Ive shot an M16 I forgot exactly what it was, if the front blade is the same width as the mans chest hes either 300 or 150 meters away from you...I forgot what one. It should be easy to find out.

[Gloomshadow100]

actually, on our old A2s, we clicked it one click Past 3/6 to zero at 25M..then when you were done, you clicked it forward to the proper 3/6 setting.. there was a 25M zero setting, at leas that was how the Colts back in those days were set up.

Kool! Not everyone has access to a 300m range myself included unfortunately.
