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.
Three inches is a lot to be out from 100 to 200 yards because of an out of alignment reticle I would think .

I plan on testing this to see how much POI is actually because it seems to be that is fairly close to see that much deviation ,
At longer ranges it certainly is noticeable however .
