Battle Zero AR15 Thoughts?

[TriggerWork]

After reading the field service manual and other online postings about battle zero processes I'm not quite sure what is the best. I am wondering if the majority of users here follow the manual on 6/3 or 8/3 (depending on your sight) or do you use the "improved" method. "Improved" method I mean by reindexing the most bottom rear sight 6 clicks past 6/3 or 8 clicks past 8/3.

With iron sights I just use the regular method I was taught at basic. If you're running surplus ammo you can use the adjustments for distance somewhat, but otherwise you just have to find out what the elevation adjustments for longer range are on your own and mark your dial accordingly.

I've always used the simple, and popular, 50 yd zero. It'll keep you within 1-2" out to 200yds, with most ammo.

8/3 at 36 yards out. here's a link from the corps, if these guys use it, you know it is lethal!

I've done the RIBZ method that re-indexes the rear sight on my detachable carry handle. Once you'd one it, it works very well and gives you some very good zero settings for popular distances.

For my Aimpoint, I've gone with the 50/200 as it gives me a flatter trajectory over the range I'll likely shoot that rifle with the red dot.

All very good input. I had seen the traj. chart for the 50/200 on another sight and thought that that looked good as well. Glad to see it works in practice as well. Thank you.
