Zero preference for 11.5” 5.56

[Sendit_Hit]

I am finishing an 11.5” build and will be dialing it in shortly. I’ve always used a 36yd zero for both my 14.7” and 16” builds, but I’m hoping for some anecdotal examples of what zero people like for an 11.5” and why.

Some info that might matter: Optic is an MRO, I will be using the rifle pretty much exclusively as a defensive tool and will be running a Saker on it. Thanks in advance!

Lookup the 50yd zero and change all of your ARs to that. Secondary option could be 100m.

100yd = zero
200 = 4" high
300 = 8"
400 = 3'
500 = 5'
600 = 8'

these are not exact holdovers, just rounded off as quick estimate for field expedience

and yes, i have tested this at the range

50 yard with an RDS.

100 yard zero for every AR in every length so that I have the same hold over at contact distance regardless of gun. I can't do different zeros for different lengths. My brain won't manage that.

I prefer a 50 yard zero for both my 11.5 and 14.5 inchers.

50 yard zero for almost every AR. Exception would be those with magnified optics with MRAD adjustments get 100yrd zeros.

I run 50y zero on all my SBRs.

Similar- I do 1.25”-1.5”high and just use it as a 100yd zero, it just keeps it a but flatter at distance

Whatever distance you choose as a zero I highly recommend you consider making all your rifles the same.
