Hey all. This is mostly a question for Derek and the other CMP/Highpower shooters out there who use ARs..
Say you bring a new AR out to the range for the first time for zeroing- let's say at 100y. Well, for elevation, I know you would click the rear sight up a notch from mech. zero, then do all of your adjustment with the front sight post.
But for windage..
1) Let's say your rear sight starts off at mech. zero (where the two central line markings meet up - just making sure I'm using the right terms here). Do you expect to have to move it a few clicks left or right to get it actually zeroed in the black?
2) Assuming you do, what do you then do to "call" that your zero/find it again? Use that white paint I sometimes see?
3) If 1) above is true, what's a reasonable amount to have to click? I.e. what's the range in MOA you'd expect in a match AR that you need to move it from mech. zero before it's at zero on paper?
Many thanks!!
