Sighting in

[NightStalker]

Curious at what distance did you sight your AR308 in?

In the past I’ve gone with the 50 - 200 yard concept. Meaning sight in at 50 and your still on at 200. 
 

Doe’s  this still apply to the 308?

Correction don’t know where I got 50yrds, it should be 25 yrds and I can’t edit the post for some reason. Ooops

Does your range only go out to 50 yards?  If so your stuck with it.  If not why limit yourself to guessing at every range except 50.  If your dead nuts at 100 you can then check at 50 and know both.  If your range goes past 100 you can check those and know all of them.  For warm weather I'm sighted at 100 for everything except my 300 Blackouts.  Those are at 50 but I know they are also dead on at 100 with that 50 yard sight in.   The best you can do is shoot and find out what works best for you.

That was stupid, there’s times people make mistake in grammar and spelling. 
I know doesn’t do any good to complain, but I was never accused of being smart when it came to talking back.  Lol

On iron sights, there's all kinds of zero's out there.  For 5.56, the 50/200 is pretty common.  the 36-yard zero is legit as all getout.

That's for iron sights, though.  For magnified optics, I always zero them at 100 yards.  That's very common, and it helps when you're making charts for other distances.
