[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 741391, member: 423"] Only impossible with standard scope mounts on the AR. If you had an extremely low sight line from the bore axis, and a large amount of slope from front to rear sight, you could zero at 1 yard. The trajectory of the .223 is very flat. But it will never rise with respect to the bore axis. Gravity only works one way. The only reason it seems to "rise" is that the bore is pointed [I]up[/I] with respect to the sights to compensate for the drop. My rough estimator in my head says 6" high without taking drop into account. 3" of difference between scope axis and bore axis to overcome from 0-25 yards, then the same pattern would lead to 6" high ( slope is 3" every 25 yards ) at 75 yards.
