Wayne:
You might want to verify the info on the 50yd zero for the carbine. I read another post where Larry said the 50yd zero info was incorrect, that he prefers 100 yds. Just want to give you a heads up.

Sam,

I know about that (much to my embarrassment). I spoke to Larry this week and while he prefers a 100 yard zero, he can live with the 50. The most important thing is to HAVE a zero when you arrive so we shorten the "dirt and walk" time on TD1.
