Went with my friend Nick back to B-Tactical in Caddo Mills and worked on zeroing the scope at 100 yards. Here's the results:
Initial rounds - high and to the left
Initial rounds - high and to the left
Next two sessions - moving down and then centered
Next two sessions - moving down and then centered
This is my AR-15 with Weaver Classic Extreme 2.5x10 56MM scope. The lower is a New Frontier (polymer), and the upper is a 5.56 stainless from SOTA
New Frontier polymer lower, SOTA stainless upper

So baldeagle, now that you own an AR and have shot it, what do you think? Would you buy/build others? Is it an addiction yet? :lol:

Nice vid! My Pops taught me that method many moons ago. He and my Dad would argue about it, mostly about wasting money on ammo.

I could do that, if I could see the holes. :cool:

As it was, I had to walk 100 yards to look at the target to see where I was hitting - and I was enjoying shooting too much to stop. :lol:

I'm retired, so money for new weapons is not as readily available as it once was. I bought this rifle for the zombie apocalypse. So, I probably won't be buying another. But who knows? Things could change. One thing's for sure. I'll never catch up with you or Beiruty.

I'm getting senile! I didn't realize that. I thought that this was his first range trip with an AR. Well, they say the mind is the second thing to go. Don't remember what the first was......

That's okay... I wouldn't have remembered either, except that I helped him get sighted in the first time. :mrgreen:

That is too cool. I wish I had thought of that a few years ago.
