At what range do you zero your AR and why?

50/200 yards because it's the flatest trajectory from 0 to about 230 yards.

100 yards for anything precision......

50/200 on 1 of them, 100 yrd zero on my scoped AR, 50 yrds on the SBR but I have no idea how much drop it will have at 100 yards since it is such a short barrel I need to do a Chronograph check on it and see where its at . and a 200 zero .223 on my bolt gun

50 Yards is excellent for a tactical weapon. For precision varmint/predator rifles 100 yards is preferred due to the fact that most ballistics charts are based on a 100 yard zero data. Along with the wind charts for the 5.56 are also based on 100 yard zero data.

dont want to hijack your thread but i figured why make another one on this topic.
im going to be getting 2 new scopes shortly, a nikon p223, and a leopuld vxr.
theses 2 scopes will be getting placed on my wifes, and my AR's. i have the irons set at the mentioned 50/200 zero. i know i need to set my scope the p223 at 100 yards for the BDC to be close to effective. whats going to be a good zero for hers? so far she shoots out to 50 yards. im sure with the scope she will at least attempt 100yards. perhaps if shes brave i can get her to shoot 200. but that will only be once in awhile. so mostly it will need to cover 50 to 100yards
