How do you zero your rifle? let’s discuss approaches

[Alan]

I’ve seen a wide range of zeroing methods across the community, and it’s always interesting how each shooter develops their own routine. To help newer members learn and compare techniques, I’d like to hear how each of you approaches zeroing?

 

[Chuck]

I sight in my AR-15 to hit at both 50 and 200 yards. That range covers most close encounters.

 

[Richie]

I get my shots on paper first with a cheap laser bore sighter, then I perfect it at 50 yards

I make sure my sights are good when the barrel's cold at the distance I plan to shoot deer.
