Going to take the new braced AR pistol to the range tomorrow for function check and zeroing. It’s an 11.5” barrel and I’ve got BUIS and an MRO on it.
I got it primarily for home defense and as a car gun for longer trips / dealing with unexpected threats.
My question- what distance does it make sense to zero it at? I have a hard time imagining a “threat” beyond 25, maybe 50 yds, so a 100 yd zero doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense - unless some close range (10 yds?) happens to converge with another, longer range, like 100 yds or 150 yds.
I realize that some of this will be bullet weight and barrel length dependent. I plan to zero for 62 gr, and see what 77 gr does as well.
But can anyone recommend somewhere to start? Any good “rules of thumb”?
Thanks!
