If anyone wants to know how to zero the sights on an AR to 300 meters on a 25 meter target with this sight and a standard fixed front sight keep reading.
I would recommend you mount the sight as far back as possible on the rifle as to not obstruct the use of the charging handle (since the peep hole is so small you will be able to see more through it). First you need to perform what we call in the Army “Battle sight Zero.” Use the windage knob to move the center mark of the sight left or right to center of the hash mark of the base and placing the range lever on the line below the 300 meter mark on the sight, once zeroed use the range value that is appropriate to your target range. Then use an unfired round or a front sight adjustment tool or a punch to adjust your front sight post so the base of the post is flush with the back of the front sight post base. I then recommend zeroing it at 25 meters using a M4 zero target you can download save and print from [...] . When looking through the sight to obtain a steady sight picture (when looking through the rear sight you should center the tip of the front sight post in the circle, you can reference the V shape of the sight post base to how it fits in your sight picture just keeping in mind you need to use the exact same sight picture every time to be as accurate as possible) I recommend placing the tip of your nose on the back of the charging handle. The recoil of an AR is so light it does not hurt trust me if fired thousands of rounds through them and you will be just fine. Then aim center mass of the target and fire 3 rounds. Using a pen draw a triangle using all three holes. And use the center of that triangle as the point to start making your adjustments. If your grouping is more than 2 inches apart you need to use the 2 that are closest to each other and use the center of them. If you have a shot that is far up or down it is from your breathing I recommend shooting when you have fully exhaled and wait to inhale once you have fired. If the shot is to the right or left your more than likely pulling the trigger and not squeezing it. (What I mean is you should not jerk the trigger back you need to slowly squeeze it and let the trigger do its job of firing the rifle and not you). Just repeat this step until you can put 6-9 rounds through the circle in the center of the target. If you are having further grouping problems I would recommend doing what we call “Dime Drills” where take up a sight picture place a dime on the barrel (do not place on the bird cage but the actual round part of the barrel) and dry fire the riffle over and over until you can pull the charging handle, sight the riffle, and squeeze the trigger without making the dime fall off.
Hope this is helpful!
A thing I like to add is that to zero this, it depends on your barrel length. For a 20 inch barrel, you zero in at 25 yards with the notches on the solid white line. For a 14.5 inch barrel, you zero it at 25 yard on the 300 yards notch. Since most people who use this will have a 16 inch barrel, it will probably work well either at the 300 yards notch, or the solid white line notch. For me personally I have a 16 inch barrel and zero it at 25 yards on the white notch.
The thing I love about this BUIS is that it includes windage and range adjustments. That is pretty rare for a sight since most of the BUIS options have only windage adjustments. The matech is just like the normal a2 sight but just compact and can easily fold away.
I also like how you can use a optic with this. Most of the optic options out there can easily mount over this and have enough clearance to not be in the way. For me personally I have tried the acog, elcan, and the aimpoint/eo tech and they all work very well with this.
Overall very nice option and highly recommended.
These co-witness with the Eotech and other red dot optics. With a log scope and 20 or 22 inch match barrel it works on a 45 degree mount and flip up front sights. Low profile and solid. A Midwest Industries flip up front sight mates up nicely. In Afghanistan I saw these on hundreds of rifles in daily use and they perform under the harshest of conditions. Brush the dirt, dust and mud off and keep on going. I have seen a few rust slightly but that was poor maintenance. Clean them and oil them lightly after exposure to the elements and these will hold their point of aim and be good for a lifetime.
