Want to try 100M zero, no 100M range...
Another option is to determine the kill zone you want (in inches) and use a ballistics calculator to adjust your sights to max point blank range for the round you are using. This is how I sight in most of my rifles, regardless of their intended purpose. ( the barrel length, twist etc. also factor into this calculation.) if you are interested and can post some specifics I can run the numbers for you.

Once you get it dialed in you will have it zeroed for 100 yards of course LAV says you should confirm it at 100 yards which you could do if a 100 yard range becomes available but this should get you close. I have used this method on all my ARs and they have been spot on when i confirmed them at 100 yards
That sounds like a rough, but fairly common, way of sighting in for 100 at the 25 yard line. But your post doesn't specify the yardage at which he was doing this....

I may be wrong in my philosophy, but my main focus is protection / self defense in my home and on my property (only about a half an acre). I can fantasize about needing my guns at longer distances in a SHTF scenario, but the likelihood of needing my carbine for SD at home is about a bazillion times greater... I consider my carbine first line of defense with a handgun as backup.
I'm also actively working on getting access to a longer range to verify / provide more options for zeroing my carbine.
Very good basis.
Make an informed decision and train.
