I'd say the 50/200 remains the clear "winner". The distribution for the rest was a bit surprising. Spending some time around the forums, and amongst other shooters at the range, it's clear the 100 (IBSZ) has gained a good amount of traction. So, it's not exactly shocking to see it as the second most popular. Still, I'd figured the distribution between the 25/300 and 100 zeros would have been a little less lopsided.
As I stated in an earlier post, my investigation into the MPBR zero ended up illustrating why so many enjoy the 50/200 zero. While loads and individual deviation requirements will cause some variances, a 50/200 is pretty dang close to what one would end up with if opting for a MPBR. It's hard to complain about minimal holds from point blank out to around 250 yards.

I did not know the man quoted above, and joined this Forum after his passing. He seemed to be a leader of men; both spiritually and physically. Someone we'd all be proud to emulate.
