Description
This is the same 25-meter zeroing target that's been getting rifles dialed in for decades. Built on the classic M16A2 design, it lets you get your AR-15 or M16A2 close to zero at a short distance so you burn less ammo before stretching out to longer ranges. The center features a silhouette with a bullseye and a grid of one-centimeter squares, so instead of guessing you can count squares and translate your group offset straight into sight clicks.
What the Action Target M16A2 Zeroing Target Gets Right
The printed layout does the heavy lifting here. Each target carries the standard zeroing instructions right on the face, so even newer shooters can follow the process: set the rear sight elevation one click past the 8/3 setting, adjust the front sight post to center your group, then return the rear to 8/3 for a 300-meter zero. That makes it a favorite for basic marksmanship instruction, qualification prep, and anybody teaching a group of people to sight in consistently.
Built From Heavy Tagboard for Range Abuse
These aren't flimsy printer-paper targets. The heavy tagboard stock resists tearing and stays flat on the frame, which matters when you're stapling up target after target in wind or handling them in the field. Measuring roughly 8.75 by 11.5 inches, they fit standard target backers without any trimming and carry the government NSN 6920-01-253-4005, the same spec used in official training.
Why a 100-Count Box Makes Sense
Zeroing and marksmanship drills eat through targets, so buying in bulk keeps a range or squad supplied without constant reorders. Whether you run a commercial range, coach new shooters, or just like keeping a stack in the truck for the next range trip, a full box of 100 means you're always ready to sight in. Action Target has been supplying ranges, law enforcement, and military units for years, and this is one of their most reliable everyday sheets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the M16A2 zeroing target work for an AR-15?
Yes. The M16A2 and the AR-15 share the same platform and sight geometry, so this target zeros both the same way. It's a go-to for anyone sighting in an AR at 25 meters before confirming at distance.
How does the grid on the target help me adjust my sights?
The center silhouette is overlaid with one-centimeter squares and a four-centimeter center circle. You count the squares between your shot group and the center to figure out how far to move your point of impact, then translate that into sight clicks. It takes the guesswork out of correcting your zero.
Are these the same targets the military uses?
They match the government spec and carry NSN 6920-01-253-4005, the same 25-meter M16A2 zeroing target used in official marksmanship training. The printed instructions walk you through the standard 8/3 rear sight procedure right on the sheet.
How big are the targets and will they fit a standard backer?
Each target measures about 8.75 by 11.5 inches, which fits most standard target frames and backers without trimming. The heavy tagboard stock also stays flat and resists tearing when stapled up.
