Duration: 1:01

This video explains how to properly zero a rifle using a bulls-eye target. It details specific adjustments for the M16A1 and M4 rifles, emphasizing the importance of aligning shots with the target's designated impact zones for both near (25m) and far (300m) zeroing. Understanding the value of sight clicks in Minute of Angle (MOA) is crucial for effective zeroing.

Quick Summary

To zero an M16A1 rifle, place the front sight in the 'unmark' position and adjust it to the bottom circle. For an M4, aim for a 1-inch circle with 3-5 rounds, setting the rear sight to 6/3 and adjusting the front sight to the center. This process establishes both near (25m) and far (300m) zero.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the correct way to zero an M16A1 rifle using a bulls-eye target?

For the M16A1, place the front sight in the 'unmark' position and adjust it until it aligns with the bottom circle of the target. This sets the initial point of aim for zeroing.

How do you zero an M4 rifle with a bulls-eye target?

For the M4, aim for a 1-inch circle with 3-5 rounds. Set your rear sight to the 6/3 position and adjust the front sight until your shots consistently impact the center of the circle.

What are the typical distances for near and far zeroing?

Near zero is generally set at 25 meters, which helps ensure your rounds stay relatively close to your point of aim at closer distances. Far zero is commonly set at 300 meters for many rifle platforms.

Why is understanding Minute of Angle (MOA) important for zeroing?

Understanding MOA is crucial because sight adjustments are often expressed in this unit. It tells you how much your point of impact will shift at a specific distance for each click of your sights, allowing for precise zeroing.
