Fantastic explanation… Breaks it down so it’s easier to understand.

Thanks for doing this! Great help to some of us that aren’t as sharp as others… :wink:

I’m still waiting for the “Molon Manual” to hit the stores;)

23

I appreciate the fact that you are keeping this thread going. I zero at 50 yards, then make minute adjustments at 200 yards. Out of my carbine, I can raise the rear sight 3 clicks and be dead on at 300 yards. With the 200 yard zero, I just hold and shoot from 20 yards to 225 yards.

Thanks for having this a sticky. It will help at the range this weekend.

25

This is killing me.

Anyone else have a problem with Molon’s pics not showing up? They don’t show up on here or on TOS. I have tried Firefox and IE, including the usual cache and cookie clears. It looks like they are hosted at www.box.net but I have no idea why they don’t show…

No issues with viewing Molon’s charts at all on 3 separate browsers.

27

Molon’s pictures showed up when I opened the thread. But, I am not a computer person and have no idea why you would not be able to view them. I am a weapons person and agree with his post.

:smiley: Now that’s funny.

Very informative info and I am taking this to the range tommorow. I usually shoot 62 gr out of my 16" m4. I will see how this stacks up against a 20".

I will be taking a coupe of new shooters to the range soon,and will use this as a visual tutorial of the proper method for sight adjustment.
Very well written,excellent job.
Thanks,
RK

Great thread; will refer to it often when I can finally afford an AR.

BTW: Woot, first post :smiley:

33

Thanks for the thread. Slowly trying to intake all the useful info.

34

Yes, thanks much for so well illustrating and explaining the flexibilty we (USMC) tried to build into the A2’s rear sight back in 1983. Unfortunately, much of that was lost due to the Operator’s Manual being limited to one basic “fits all” procedure; and the concrete being dried on so many 25 meter ranges common in those days.

35

Excellent post!! Thank you for the valuble info. I have already read it a couple of times and am applying it to my detachable carry handle sight base. Now I will have to head out to the range.
Will removing the detachable carry handle affect the zero once it is set??
I have a red dot coming in the mail (aimpoint comp M2) and will mount it when it arrives. I am a newbie to red dots an am wondering if the method for zero is different.

36

Molon,
like the above poster,
I am using a RDS. I do not get anything like the 50/200 IBZ. Granted, I am using a 10.5" SBR w/ 69gr handloads. However, I zero at 50yds, and even at 100 yards, I am seeing an approx 3-4" drop. At 200yds, I was about 6" low. Does the IBZ not apply to a RDS since one is not looking thru the rear aperature to the front?
TIA, and thanks for all your helpfuls posts. Truly appreciated.

Are you running Zone Alarm or any other Browser Security Program? I checked Zone Alarm is blocking www.box.net as it is a known site for distributing spyware.

38

Thanks I am!!! I will check Zone Alarm now.

Cameron

Edited to add: Turned Zone Alarm off and the pics show up. Thanks for your help. Now I have to figure out how I can make ZA stop blocking box.net

great job, great job

does anyone know the best way to zero an EOTech 512 series for a M4 platform. Haven’t done it in years and forgot how. Any help would be appricated.
