I thought I was just canting the rifle so I got a bubble scope level and same problem . Using a bi pod and a rear bag. I get the same problem using shooting sticks aswell . Anyone else have this problem ? Once I'm on at 200 yards my wind age is good out to 5-600 but when i come back to 100 yards I'm 3 inches left again ?? Could this be a parallax thing ? I'm a right hand shooter left eye dominant with a slight stigmatism.
Did you mount your scope by aligning the vertical post with a plumb line, or a bubble level on the top turret?

Long story short - actions and scopes aren’t always square, bubbles can lie, always use a plumb line. Couple degrees off vertical could easily explain the POI shift.
