Zeroing this light accurately will require a trip to the firing range. To properly zero this device with the M16 rifle requires the use of the night vision goggles and sighting in with live fire. First, at 25 meters, conduct a battle sight zero exercise by placing the weapon’s rear sight to the L (long-range) and firing at a zero target. Adjust the weapon’s sight for zero. Next, fire the weapon at a 25 yard target by aligning the IR laser dot 3.5 inches below the sight’s point of aim.
