The army guys I knew said the zero for an M14 was 200, my bad. (I

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.

The 25 yard distance is what we used also. Had to have a quarter-sized grouping. I'd thought the
battle site zero was for 100 yards center of mass. Anything further you aimed higher, anything
closer you aimed lower. I missed two targets during qualifying, both at 50 yards because I forgot to
aim at the bottom of the target instead of center mass. Still got my Expert badge though!
