I have a couple of Mark IIIs which I bought new. These are among my very favorite guns to shoot, and I have equipped them both with Aimpoint H-1 red dot sights as shown here:
I zeroed the Mark III Target shown above, using the RDS, at 30 feet. It shoots like a dream at that range and can be relied upon to shoot a ragged hole in a target at 30 feet. At 75 feet, due to the zeroing of the Aimpoint, it shoots a hole an inch or so above the bull's eye. I am curious what range most of you zero your iron or optical sights? I picked 30 feet on the notion that this is a plausible range for shooting a bad guy. Do most of you do something similar, or are you zeroing at greater ranges such as 25 yards?
