During the Basic Carbine Course at @ravenadvisory students learn how to quickly zero their rifles by removing the bolt-carrier group and aligning the image of the target with the sight picture down range. @loftrick77 did this during the last course in Maxton, NC and was only a couple inches off from the bullseye at 25 meters.
How to quickly zero a rifle
Title should be, "how to quickly BORESIGHT your rifle"
I've done this. It helps to do it closer than 100 yards. 25-50 yards and then move back to confirm.
of you were good you'd be on paper at 100 yds
At 25 yards with a red dot you aught to be on paper anyway since there’s not much room for error. Red dots at close quarters. If you’re wanting to shoot groups get a lpvo or mpvo. Can you shoot distance with a dot? Yes but when you’re talking a dot is 3, 5, and 8 MOA. You’re gonna be silhouette shooting just like irons. Yes I know basic is 300-600 but that’s still just intended to send lead down range but you should be using the right tool for the job.
Now a scope this is great all day long. A chamber laser works better but this is the poor man’s method that’s stood the test of time.
Bore sighting. I did the same thing with my AR
Hoping the owner doesn’t have a bent barrel
Lol ok bruh
It 's a lot easier to use a laser bore sighter.
Works well. Also a $50 bore sight.
