The army guys I knew said the zero for an M14 was 200, my bad. (I
asked when I got my M1A). We had 2 crusty old retired sargents working
for IBM in Ft Myers.

I kind of recall zeroing our M-14s at 25 yards which was also supposed
to be zero at 150 or 200, don't remember which. Mine was incredibly
accurate out to 300.

I did that out at Cecil Webb and using some surplus ammo with spanish
writing on it, 25 yards got me really close at 200 with a scope on
that funky GI one screw mount.
It is a good way to get on the paper at 200 anyway.
My problem was that my Soviet spotting scope was not good enough to
see my hits at 200 so I just shot a bunch and went down to see how I
did later. BTW I sucked. I hope we don't have a war ;-)
I was shooting at paper plates tho not a full sized military target.
I never got serious about it again and won't until I get a decent
scope mount. When I went back to 25 yards, the zero had moved.
I set up the iron sights at 25 and called it a day.
I really prefer training with my .45 and my .380. That is something I
might need in a serious social situation some day.
For fun, I want my Daly shooting at clay.
