Firearm news from USACOM sniper competition
A few interesting tid bits came out today from Soldier Systems
1. USSOCOM adopts 6.5 Creedmoor
Military has been looking at calibers that would enhance shooting and there were several candidates. USSOCOM ran its own evaluation and decided on 6.5 Creedmoor over 260 Remington. Both performed just about the same but 6.5 CM had more room for various loads.

2. Knight's Armaments LMG has been updated. This was one of two guns used to evaluate Intermediate Caliber.

LAV on zeroing rifle
LAV shares his tip on how to zero your rifle
If you are going for 100m zero, 2 inches below should work well. for 50m zero, 1 inch below the x can be a bit faster
Also, if you have astigmatism, the red dot starts to look crooked.
