Night Vision Zeroing laser's?

[Captain Moroni]

So when you zero your laser do you have it dead on at a given range and then hold left or right at other ranges or do you zero 3/4" to the left or right and not worry about holding left and right at different ranges?

I figure that I cant hold 3/4" with my carbine shooting off hand anyway so close enough is close enough for coyotes and steel.

I guess that I should mention that my laser is a DBAL I2, the center of the laser is about 3/4" from the center of the bore.

I zero my DBAL-I2 @ 200 yards on my 5.56s, that way it is never off by more than 1.5 inches with it being zeroed at 50 yards and 200 yards.

OK I zero at 36/300 with my Aimpoint so if I zero at 36yds dead on elevation and 3/4" to the right with the vis. laser and 3/4" to the left with the IR laser then I will be dead on elevation and 3/4" to the right or left at 300yds right?

Theoretically yes, but you will still need to go out and prove for yourself. Those numbers work for standard nato rounds from standard issue rifle. Yours ofcourse may be different but should be close in there.

I just put a 100 yard zero on the IR laser for coyotes . Seems to work great on all the point & pops on real close coyotes or out farther. & that works for me with mounting the IR on top, or the side of the center of barrel bore .

My lasers are center poa/poi to 200yd. Works like a charm

As soon as it warms up to above zero I'll go back out and get a better zero with it. Thanks everybody.

Re: Zeroing laser's?

If you're going for an absolute zero, make sure you zero the laser at the max range possible as far as windage is concerned. That will minimize the amount of offset you have to correct for. If you try to do an initial intersection type of zero (50/200, 36/300) with your laser you'll be screwed if you don't offset for windage. Elevation will be fine up close.
