Battle Sight Zero Ar 10

The battlesight zero is the default sight setting for a weapon ammunition.

Battle sight zero ar 10. The term battlesight zero means the combination of sight settings and trajectory that greatly reduces or eliminates the need for precise range estimation further eliminating sight adjustment holdover or hold under for the most likely engagements. Current army marine corps battle sight zero and it s procedures are well described in tm9 1005 319 10 the m16 m4 operator s manual. Since the basic bullet trajectory of a 308 is going to be different from that of a 223 i m guessing that there are different site choices to consider but i havent managed to find a discussion thats specific to the ar 10 besides the official army. Wait it s not over yet.

At the apex of a 62 grain bullet s flight path with a 50 meter zero you will see about 2 inches of bullet rise. The lines would be parallel and wouldn t intersect and this is because of sight over bore factor with ar rifles. The current 300 meter battle sight zero is a function of the sights on the rifle and i personally find it shoots too high for the vast majority of combat targets including the army s qualification ranges. Ar 10 battle site zero anyone have a link to a good discussion of a battle site zero for the ar 10.

If you have an ar 15 then you need to zero it. It will then drop from 4 6 inches right before it crosses the 300 meter mark. Sighting in a m1a ar10 m1 garand. The projectile will cross your line of sight again at 215 225 meters roughly.

And with this 50 200 zero when you aim dead. As the bullet continues to fall it will fall 2 inches below your line of sight at 259 yards. The maximum point blank zero here is 259 yards meaning you should be able to hit a 4 inch disk from 0 259 yards with a dead center hold. Which essentially means you zero at 50 yards and your bullet will hit the same point of aim at 200 yards.
