Bench technique for consistent grouping with an AR?

Thanks for that. My interest at this point is to evaluate the rifle, rather than practice more practical forms of shooting. It's a new build that I've been struggling with and I need to identify where the issues lie. It's either me or the rifle. If it's me (most likely), then I want to learn where I can improve. If I can rule out my shooting and I'm still having accuracy issues then I'll have to revisit the build or revise my expectations of it.
