    A neighbors parents bought him a Ohhunt 1-6x24 First Focal Plane scope for his AR-15 and is having trouble figuring out the crosshairs

    He has never seen a crosshair with 100 below the cross ... is the center 50 yards?

    He does know the dots going down at an angle are for wind

    Here's a pic I found of the crosshair

    Went to their website and it says nothing on the crosshairs (like he told me), so I clicked on "Chat with us" and asked if the center of the cross is 50 yards

    Lets see what happens

    I'll let the friend know what I just did just in case I find out something useful

    A 50 yard .223 zero will be high at 100 yards, and will require you to aim low, not high View attachment 316013

    Ohhunt is Chinese, so my money is on someone who doesn't understand reticle design just added them cause he thought it looked cool

    Did you use an app for that image? I use ballistic AE and can generate something that tells the same story just in a much different way. I really like that presentation.

    Yes. It’s a point that who knows what the redicles mean per manufacturer. Generally most follow something but for all we know it could be minute of Chinese child labor.

    So based on your findings what would you recommend to him when it comes to zeroing it in

    He's going to have his father return it, so his father wants to know what the maximum magnification (overkill) would be for a 556 AR so he can look around

    I agree with the author’s perspective on the 36yd zero. My go-to rifle is zero’d at 100 though because that’s what the ACSS reticle demands. When I ran an red dot, I had that zero’d to 36yds.

    36 yards isn't too bad, i still prefer 50 as it keeps you very close out to 250, 36 has a bit more variation imo
