I didn’t know if this would be better in the AR platform forum, or the precision/long range page since it *is* a scope setup related question.
I went to sight in my .308 AR-10 this past weekend and was trying for a 100YD zero, we didn’t end up finding anything to attach the target to except for a fence post at about 415ft (orange dot with the arrow). With the heat coming off the field and the target being in the shade, I wasn’t having much luck seeing potential hits so I stopped.
So while we were sitting there, I adjusted over to this target to the left of my rifle and shot a quick group. Shot placement at that distance was about 8” low and to the right 2”. With that being said, is that something I should try to adjust out with my scope, or should I be looking at something else? Normally at that distance with everything I’ve messed with, it takes a click or two on the scope and it’s dialed in. Or am I potentially shooting at a distance too close? A buddy of mine took his AR-15 and wasn’t having a major difference in POA/POI shift shooting at the same target, at the same distance, with his rifle that has a 100yd zero.
