Marines zero at 36 yards which puts them dead on at 300. I think the Army does the 25 meter thing....not sure what exactly is going on there. If you zero at 50 yards you should be dead on at 250....also a good way to do it. One click on the elevation knob is 1" elevation (on an A2....on the A4's its 1/2") for every hundred meters - so 8/3+1 at 300 meters is 3 inches different than 8/3 at the same range.

Basically the sights are about 2.5 inches above the bore, so at 7 yards to hit the target you need to "aim" 2.5 inches low - in reality the bore is pointed straight at the target. At 36/50 you'll be dead on (depending where you zeroed) and past that you'll be within a couple inches of point of aim out to 300/250.
