PREP threads for his classes say to have it zeroed at 100yds or prepare to know and answer why you chose another zero... (Cross-examined by Vickers doesn't sound fun)...
I zero at 50yds because I like that trajectory path for my possible needs and it is easy to zero at 50yds... My eyes can see the details of a 50yd target much clearer than I can a 100yd target...
As for laser boresights and all that stuff, forget it... Don't need it... Shoot at 25 yards and get that centered and an inch or so low... Then move to 50. You will be on paper and not too far off. Adjust as needed...
When putting on a new sight or scope, I seperate the upper and remove the BCG... I then peek through the barrel at some object and while holding the upper still I adjust the sight/scope to that object. Then you move to the 25yd paper... Really easy, honest...

His former Unit (SFOD-D) used it (100M Zero) and it suited there purposes. As long as you can justify your zero, and you can hit accurately with it (and knowing your hold overs at varying distances), I'm sure LAV won't mind.
