How much, if any at all, did you need to adjust your T-1 out of the box?

Just trying to get an idea of what to expect when I go to the range to zero.

I think that your question will need some other information to answer....IE what mount/ammo/rifle/distance used.

I also think your question simply has too many variables to give you a good answer (the day the week/time of the day the rifle was built on would likely even matter!)

Having said that, my H1 on a ADM 1/3 mount, on a SW m&p15, with 55gr ammo at 50yrds was on paper first shot, then took about 4 5shot strings to get it sighted in.

Thanks for the help.

Colt A3, about 10 years old. T1 on GDI absolute mount, same grain Federal ammo.

Plan to shoot at about 50 yards too. Need to zero the new iron sights too.

I recommend redneck bore sighting to save time and money. Remove the upper and BCG from the upper and sight through the barrel. Off of a bench of course. I don't fool with a formal target just a fork in a bush, leaf or knot in my neighbor's fence. Something 20 30 yards away. Adjust the sights to what you have centered in the bore. I have never had one more than 3-4 inches off at 25 yards sighted this way. GH
