no im not a good shot with it. but you can see there is a windage issue.
I figured the elevation would not be correct at 25yrds. I just got it and wanted to shoot it. really no place around here to shoot 100yrds.
its 5.56 and 223. shooting 5.56
I know its a cheap gun and I new the MOA would not be good but I don't think I should have to crank the windage all the way to the right.

Could be a canted/bent front sight base, and/or misaligned barrel extension/pin, and/or clocked barrel from a sloppy receiver/barrel alignment (narrow extension pin and/or wide receiver notch).
Take the carry handle off, and see if the FSB looks centered when sighting down the rail. If you extend your arms and hold it out in front of you, it should be obvious.
Take a look at the barrel extension feed ramps to see if they are aligned with the receiver feed ramps (if any). Also check the gas tube to see if it is offset to one side.
Regarding accuracy, even a PSA rifle should be good for 2 MOA. To zero as intended, BZO @ 36 yards using the small aperture. This will give you a happy coincidence @ 300 yards. Or, for better (IMO) "all around" use, you can use the modified BZO @ 50 yards using the large aperture. This will give you a happy coincidence @ 200 yards. Either way, start with the rear sight drum at its lowest setting (6/3) and zero using only the front sight post for elevation.
