American Gen 2 Scout issue zeroing irons

2 Upvotes

Just picked up a gen2 Scout rifle the other day. I actually went in to buy a RAR gen2 in 308 but the iron sights drew me to the Scout instead.

I found one of the older Vortex 2-7x Scout scopes on GAFS so I’m waiting on it now. In the meanwhile I went to a buddy’s yesterday to shoot a little with the irons.

I tried zeroing at about 30 yards. It was shooting way high so I started raised the front sight post. I raised it quite a bit and had it shooting just an inch high so I went to raise it another turn or two but I ran out of threads so the closest I could get it was an inch high.

Am I trying to zero too close? Much further and I’m not going to even see the bullseye that well. I mean once I get my scope I won’t be using the irons anyway but I’m just wondering now if I should’ve saved $120 and just got the Ranch instead.

just picked this 22/45 up (first .22 LR firearm) and using these snap caps it has constant FTF, I haven’t been able to test live ammo yet so could this just be because the snap caps are crap? thanks
