Hello Tier II and Tier III,

We get lots of questions on rifle zeros and I hope this video helps answer some of those questions.

For this example we use the ACOG. 

The important takeaway from this is to check the manual for your specific optic even different models of the same scope might need to be zeroed for different distances depending on the reticle.

Tier III live (zoom) next week. Finished up a great session of content creation the last few days and are getting the new studio details finalized 👊🏻.

Thank you for all the support here on Patreon. This community makes the content at VE possible.

Cheers!

Adhere to all firearms safety rules and range commands/protocols at your facility. For more info on safety, see https://www.nrablog.com/articles/2015/7/the-rules-of-nra-gun-safety/

Yes, read the owner's manual. I bought a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6x LPVO and it clearly states 50-yard zero if you want the BDC reticle to work at 6x. It is a sweet optic too. I zeroed mine during a Carbine & Rifle Fundamentals class yesterday. I feel like I'm a little faster at 25-yards and in with a Red Dot, but I can probably get better with practice. Shooting stuff up to 377 yards from prone was easy, almost felt like I was cheating.

Straightforward. Appreciate the information

Nathan Rush

Thank you, Shawn. Great video, easy to understand for a newb like me. Would appreciate more on optics, holds, etc. You have a knack for explaining complex things in a basic way, which for me is a starting point to begin using my tools and learning more.

Also check bullet weight. M855 are 62 grain .

Oksana Glazkova

Thank you so much, Shawn! Very clear explanation how to calculate👍. I double appreciate this video because I mostly use indoor for training.

Great video. Reading instructions is definitely important. I've noticed some optics tell you zero at max magnification and others don't depending on which focal plane the reticle is on.

Bullet weights also play a roll in accuracy and zero. Good to know impacts of the different grain weights.

This should help with indoor. Adjusted zero targets can be really useful with limited range for training.

All depends on the model. Each manufacturer has their way of zeroing so it's good to learn the holdovers. 👊🏻

Awesome post as always 👊🏻

Prime example why absolutely VE is prime and always on point! Boss shit again

Aoi

I sometimes forget ACOGs used to have crosshair reticles like that instead of dual illuminated red chevrons. I would make fun of Shawn for being old enough to have hunted dinosaurs, but I'm old enough to be aware that ACOGs used to all be like that.
