Can you talk about what kind of grouping your getting with your tavor?

Here's mine:
And with my now #2 zombie defense rifle:
The Fab Defense foregrip/bipod/flashlight is a bit bulky but I get a lot of bang for my buck with the limited rail space. In the future I may replace it with a TLR-1 with remote switch on the 1:30 rail and, what seems to be the most hated tacticool rifle accessory by armchair commandos, a real Grip-pod on the bottom.

Looking pretty damn slick Roddy! Have you shot any from that bi-pod at all? Fab-defense stuff is a winner for sure. They've got some amazing 858 accessories.
I tried to order my low profile gas block from can am today, but their website is being a pain in the ass. Guess I'll be playing with an eo-tech first!
@skinnadoor: I will probably post a whole video about groups. I have some boxes of 77gr Barnes that are just dying to be shot. I just need a proper day off of work!

Answer to skinnador
I just put my first eotech on my rifle and I am in love with it all over again. Seriously amazing stuff with the holo sight on there. I'm sure lots of other people already know how amazing eotechs are, and I've handled them before, but having one on my gun is a game changer for me. In response to questions about "should I buy a tavor?" I would say yes every time. But:
Two things to think about:
1. I am a little bit cagey about the full top rail. It just doesn't fit with the same ergonomics that I love. I have a pic rail for scope mounting, and currently have the backup iron sights recessed in the unit. I'm not going to put an NEA tri-rail handguard, and probably not going to put a full rail on either, because for me that's getting away from the concept of the rifle. If I'd wanted to accessorize the s**t out of it, I'd have bought an AR. I like it because its an effective battle rifle right out of the box.
2. Which leads me to the next point. The trigger is a bull-pup trigger. Lots of people ##### about it. I grew up shooting paintball, and my first handgun was a double action only police issue baretta. So I am accusomed to a heavy pull. As a result I don't mind the Tavor at all. I think the heavy trigger fits with its battlerifle role and especially with an open handguard (impossible to trigger lock) you don't want a hair trigger that is easily bumped.
But if you're coming from a rem 700 with a set trigger or some sort of other precision world, you will find the Tavor to be a big adjustment.
As for your grouping question, I've been screwing around with low power scopes too much to do serious precision out of it. And I was shooting my SKS before this, so my idea of precision is being able to hit on target at 100 yards.
Now there are a whole bunch of issues for me, as I've been using a broken mount (finally figured that out) and was out there without a handy peice of paper telling me what 1 milrad is at 100 yards (solvable now that I know how to read the ebr reticle)
I would say it groups good. It shoots straighter than anything I've ever shot before. But thats coming from a milsurp background of .303s and 6.5X55s. Thats coming from shooting skeet and plinking with russian junk. Thats part of why I'm reticent to post online, until I get some real solid range time at distance with the gun and hone my own skills as a shooter.
Hope that helps! And if it muddles things more, thats what happens when you ask a wordy guy!
Now! Pictures!

TV I haven't had the chance to try it with the bipod yet. I just put it on last night. Why did you have to go and get an Eotech? I'm having trouble keeping up in the arms/optics race! I love that spotting scope and tripod you have too. Too pricey for me.
