Sighting in M4 @ Precision Baton Rouge

[swagge1]

I recently went to sight in my new M4 at the Ascension Parish Sheriff's range and unfortunately it was right before hunting season. Anyways, they keep a hot line in the time before hunting season so I had to sight in at 100 yards because I couldnt move my target. I was able to get maybe a 6" group at 100 yards but I want to sight the rifle in properly. I believe the M4 is supposed to be sighted in at 25 meters (82 feet). I have a few of the targets the military uses to sight in M4's and they are supposed to be @ 25M. My question is how can I sight in my rifle at Precision Indoor range if the range isn't long enough? I have been on their pistol range and I'm not sure if their rifle range is long enough. I would assume that they have some special targets with calculations on them about where the bullet should fall @ 300M ( So I can properly use my 6/3 knob). I'm trying to avoid wasting time and money going to a range where I can't get my sights aligned so my shots are "on the money" Can anyone tell me if they have any experience sighting in AR's/M4/s at Precision?

For the same cost in gas you could go to the Sherburn WMA range and sight in your rifle at their pistol/rifle range for free, at 0-100 yards all day, come and go as you want, use what targets you want, shoot how you want...etc.

-not a fan of a Precision owner, so I am biased against going there, though some of the employees are great people.

Not what you asked for, but my .02 cents anyway. Good luck!

Do you have an address or directions to this Sherburne range? It might be worth the ride. Do they have shooting benches and bags?

Yep, its free of charge, But you are supposed to either have 1) a current Louisiana hunting/fishing liscense or 2) a $5.50 Louisiana "wild" stamp for any activities on a Management area.

Thats the same way the honey island range is. Since it is inside the WMA some type of w&f license is required. I've heard of w&f officers sitting in the range parking lot giving tickets to those without one. Honey Island is $6 to shoot though.

I think I'm going to go to the sherburne range soon.

DO you know how much the tickets are?

DO you know how much the tickets are?

Probably more than the $5 license.

 

[Ike]

No I don't know how much they are.

On at least one occassion, an officer has ticketed shooters in our parking lot!

 

[Speedlace]

Probably more than the $5.50 license.

Fixed.

If you are anyone els needs one of the M16A2 BZO 25 meter sight in targets, I have coppies.
If you are close to down town Baton Rouge and not scared of the Police you can stop by my office and I'll give you some.

Thanks Candyman. I have a few of those 25 meter sights, but I decided to go with the 200M Improved Battlesight. Thanks for the offer though!!
