I've already admitted I'm a newbie about assault style and battle rifles so here's the question. How do you benchrest a XCR (or FAL for that matter) when zeroing? The real issue is the magazine sticking out along with the vertical fore grip. Do you take the vertical grip off and put the handguard on the pad or put the bottom of the vetical grip on the pad or do something else? If you have a bipod and zero with it supporting the rifle, does the POI change if you take the bipod off.
I do have a 5 round magazine for the FAL which makes it a little easier to use on the bench but the vertical grip is still the issue.
This picture shows the issue. With the vertical foregrip you either need a tall rifle rest or need to put the grip on the rest and be sitting a lot higher on the bench.
