Zero / POI changes from bench to position

[echo3mike]

Got my 700VS zero pretty much squared away on the bench. Was wondering what to expect when I start shooting from, say, sitting or prone.

Probably shoot sitting in the classic cross leg, if I can get the bore up a little higher. Prone would probably be off a ruck-sack / A.L.I.C.E. pack.

TIA

Positions

Echo, the sitting should be about the same, prone, if off a pod will be different.
Make sure you don't have a hard to hard contact on the bipod...or you will be all over the place.( put a pad under the feet).
Also, in the prone, lay directly in a straight line BEHIND the rifle, don't "CANT", your body to the side......R or L..........
This will keep the rifle from twisting so badly to the left, and will also keep you on target better with your initial POA.......
Call me "Been there, done that".

Sitting may be a little more difficult without the sling or a jacket. I have found that the rifle tends to sway more and gets heavier as the shooting goes on.
As for the prone, keep behind it like Tshoes said. You don't want to mess up the natural point of aim, which can happen when the body is not squared with the rifle. You also may want to use a sandbag on the butt in the prone, as this keeps the rifle still.
The zero on my PSS is the same on a bench as in the prone position, and since I do not practice sitting enough, I could not tell you.
