Recently purchased a Saint Victor 5.56 and not sure if the iron sights come sighted in to a particular distance or do i have to waste a lot of ammo to figure it out. Couldn't find anything on their website or other online sources. Have not fired the rifle yet but my first planned trip to the range is to set the irons and then the vector red dot. Thanks

Sight it in for you.
 
Wasted ammo? Zeroing a new rifle is often the most enjoyable step in acquiring a new rifle (for me anyway)...what better time or place to expend ammo? Once it's zeroed, it loses some appeal...hauling to the range, repeated firing (knowing where you will hit), then cleaning (i'm a little unlike most here...I do not like cleaning guns.)
 
The ammo you choose might give you fits on sighting it in! Finding the best ammo for your gun (not all like the same ammo even from the same mfgr). Adjusting the sights (to me) requires 2-3 shots per due to knowing if it's the ammo or you? A 5-6# trigger pull (single stage triggers/mil-spec) isn't going to help, but could get you 1.25 or less moa. Are you asking about how to adjust or something else?
 
Don't overthink it. Use some Lake City M193. Start at 25 yards, then move out to your preferred distance.

Better yet put your dot on your rifle. It'll be zero'ed pretty close at 50 yards, but you'll have to fine tune it. Then adjust your flip ups to match and double check them to be sure.

It's not a precision rifle.

What many folks don’t realize is that when you shoot up a box of ammo for your rifle and you replace it with another box from your LGS your new box will probably be from a new lot. Each lot will perform differently to some degree. If you are trying to place 3 rounds in a playing card size target that touch at 200 yards you’ll need to re-zero when you start a new box of ammo from a different lot. Lot numbers are usually found on the inside box flap. Unless you are shooting a precision rifle with a high dollar scope most of us will never notice a difference between boxes of ammo from different lots.

My Wilson Combat Ranger is the most accurate 5.56 I own. It has 1/2 MOA accuracy guarantee, but it specifies the load ( which I don't recall). If I want accuracy like that I will use my BAR.
