“ Don’t you zero, or verify zero, on every trip to the range? He could have been dialing it in for a specific range, but with a flat shooter like 5.56, I’m sure it was good for 0-200”

No, I don’t zero every trip to the range. But I ALWAYS do the first time I use a new weapon or get a weapon back that has been used or even in the possession of someone else.
My understanding is that the assassin’s father has many weapons and this could well have been the first time the son used that particular one. In any case, given the importance of his “mission”, it would have been prudent to zero pre mission.
Kid must have been a stone-cold psychopath to remain as calm as he was. Adrenalin should have been through the roof, and he should have known that he was seconds from death.
