dude its 5.45, the slavic 5.56. Where it hits at 25 is about where it hits out to 200 meters or so.

Correct me if I'm wrong here but are meters and yards not almost the same fucking thing?

Get better.

I zero in the woods using my pace count.

Then you learn your rifle, and learn how to Kentucky windage.
>>
>>29222938
What grade are you in?

Consider me trolled, but since you're too fucking stupid to use Google, a meter is 10 percent longer than a yard. So you can see how, at short distances, depending on what you're measuring for, not a particularly big difference.

However, at long distances 10 percent can be pretty significant.

It's actually 9.04% longer, but I rounded since you clearly have a peabrain.

Holy fucking shit there are people on /k/ right now who can't fathom converting yards to meters

There are people on /k/ with real weapons firing live ammunition who cannot fathom this simple idea and cannot google "convert yards to meters"

>>29222444
You're not missing because of the difference between a yard and a meter. You're missing because you couldn't hit the broad side of the barn.

I think a few more generations and imperial will be gone. You know this shit is indefensible when the original country it came from has dropped it long ago. I'm curious what the conversion autism was like there 150 years ago

It's not an issue. The small difference doesn't change anything until you are out till at least 600ish yards.

Getting it in the center and not to the left or right is far more important that an inch or two high/low at a few hundred yards.
>>
>>29223161
I've got to agree. Not many ranges are going to have much beyond 300m anyway for you to shoot at. Zero it for 100m or 200m and practice the fundamentals.

Ideally, iron sights would be best to practice the fundamentals on, but I know that new scope is snazzy.

Try getting a group up or a range partner -- someone you can hang with and compare scores with. Like a workout partner, you encourage and make each other better. it will help you develop goals and overcome some of that "I don't know what I'm doing" frustration. A shooting club would be even better. Good luck.
>>
>>29222600

this is how I zero my AK's, and it works for me out to 300 yards.

1. Rear sight is set to Battle Zero (last spot on rear sight ramp)

2. Fire 3 shots at target at 25 yards

3 Adjust sights accordingly to move point of impact to point of aim. (do not use Kentucky Windage)

4. Fire another 3 shot group to verify.

With this zero you can hit a 1'x1' steel plate at 300 yards, you can either just hold over (barely) the target, or you can adjust your iron sights to the 300 designation. I just use a hold over myself, it works fine.
>>
>>29225959

I should note, when adjusting the sights, I mean the FRONT SIGHT only.

Agreed.

Amerifucks need to convert.
>>
>>29222444
The difference between a 100yd zero and a 100m zero is almost certainly less than one click adjustment one your optic.

ITT: OP lacks the fundamental problem solving skills required of must adults, much less adults who own and operate precision firearms.
