DocMedic Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I have a fun local match I'll be shooting my MPX this weekend at, and I've been told the furthest target is around 50 yards, which will probably be a full IPSC. I went to my local range to zero it for 25yards and see where it hit at 50 and 100. at 50 the limiting factor is the ammo as it groups is about as tight as a piece of paper but at 25 it stays nice and tight. Then I started messing around at closer ranges and was quite intrigued the dot off set even at 5 yard increments. From 25 yards to 20, there was a 1 inch offset, at 15-10 yards it was 2 inches and at 7-5 I was getting almost a 3 inch offset from POA/POI. Now because the match is tomorrow I won't touch anything as its just a fun match, but afterwards I'm not sure on where I should zero this gun at for USPSA and Steel Challenge PCC division, I was wondering what everyone else was using for there zeros.

shaun1826 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I shoot steel challenge with my MPX. 25 yard zero works great from 7-50 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocMedic Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 What reddot and Mount are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian04rs Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I shoot a sbr scorpion for steel challenge and agree with Shaun 25 yard zero has worked just fine. I run a primary arms advanced micro red dot( aimpoint knock off) with great success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I zero my TruBor 9mm Major at 50 yards, and it is good at any distance, except extreme close shots which I have to aim 3" high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun1826 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I'm using a Eotech EXPS2-0 in the Factory mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Mitch Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Pick a distance to zero and learn your holds. It's just like shooting a rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthyBlagga Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I zero at 50 yards. This gives me a similar offset to that of my 5.56 AR15 rifles, so my hold is the same for PCC and 3-Gun matches... cross training FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty79 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 What kind of mount/riser are you all using? Seems like a low sight would be best for USPSA or SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnhowell1 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 A bunch of us who shot PCC at the 3GN Regional in FL ran a 75 yard zero. If you check at multiple distances you'll see it's very similar to a 25 yard zero. After coming back from the match we all agreed that running a 15/20 yard zero would have been more beneficial for that particular match. Why...because the 4" pieces of steel (simulate clay bird) that were at 7-15 yards were harder to hit than any plate rack at 50-60 or large piece of steel at 100. Would rather have to hold dead on those to get the hit versus worrying about the offset. I'd also recommend at least a 4moa dot for PCC. I ran a trijicon MRO and Martini shot a 2 moa Aimpoint Micro. We both agreed we'd rather have a larger brighter dot for PCC. Edwards ran a 8moa C-More and that was fairly close to perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskapopo Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I like 2 moa just like on my .223 rifles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwikel Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I think a 7.5 or 8 moa dot would be perfect for PCC. Big enough to find easily on hoser stages and I have about that much moa drop between 50 and 100 yards with my reloads. Set the top of the dot for 50 yards and your hold over will be about an inch either way from 5-50 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Scott Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 16" 9mm AR, wearing an 8moa CMore on a tactical riser, sighted in POA=POI at 25yds. Hits a few distances holding center on the 2" dots. 147gr bullets going 1000fps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stlhead Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I zero mine at 100 yards. No offset at 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photoracer Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 For any rifle used for Steel Challenge (RFRO and PCC) using a red dot I use a 17-20 yard zero. For other matches in my area I push the zero out to no more than 25 yards. I would not go longer unless I was forced by a match distance to switch to a 1-4x scope.
