Ya I think he meant the Tavor. The XCR is a fine rifle I shot 300 rounds through it without malifunction and it had excellent accuracy considering It wasn't benched when fired.

My Tavor experience is limited to the demo rifle.
I would suggest that the Mepro sight is neither intended nor appropriate for any sort of precision testing of a rifle's accuracy potential.
A suitable aiming mark would certainly be a great help, but will still not make the sight into a precision one.
I know that if I want to determine exactly how accurate any rifle is, I need to fit an appropriate sight.
The mandatory inclusion of the Mepro sight with the Tavor has been flogged to death. Personally, I feel it makes the rifle a harder sell. I would rather pay the same, and receive a rifle with a universal rail, rather than this sight on its unique mount.
As far as a steady shooting position is concerned, I found that the best approach was to shoot prone, with a 5/30 magazine right on the mat. Left hand is between the ground and the grip, and is used to control natural elevation adjustment. It was my impression that the rifle was inherently accurate, very easy to shoot.

The Mepro is just fine as a CQB sight, but (obviously) has its limitations as a 'precision optic'. I intend to use mine for action shooting, and as all our targets are 100 yards or less, I expect no issues with it. BTW, you'd be surprised to find out how many people have difficulty hitting a target at 100 yards when placed under competitive stress no matter which rifle/optics they use.
I will likely try out some magnified optics on other rifles, but I have some concerns about loss of speed when using those systems. The Tavor/Mepro combination is particularly well suited to the fast, close in shooting game, which shouldn't be a big surprise to anyone who has read about the rationale for its development.
