M1 Garand Sight Range/Distance Guide

[Rhino-lfl]

On most M1's, 8 clicks up from bottomed will get you on paper at 200yds. This will vary from rifle to rifle, but is a ball park figure. 2 clicks down from your 200yd zero is generally good for a 100yd. zero. So try 6 clicks and adjust from there. These settings are using a 6 o'clock hold on the standard NRA SR target.
Now, go forth and have fun.

Yay! Now I'm armed with knowledge!

In 1960 Basic we zeroed at 25 yards which gave you a zero for your 200-yard battle sight that allowed you to engage man-sized targets from 50 yards to 400 yards by aiming center of mass. At 25 yards each click moved the impact point 1/4 inch. At 100 yards a click should move it 1 inch IIRC.
