Thread: Rifle shooting to right query

If not dialling, scope not in true line with the bore. Could be several reasons for this, barrel not correctly aligned with the receiver, receiver mounting for the scope mount not aligned, mismatched rings, internal issue somewhere where it is shooting walleyed or pigeon footed but the last isn't likely.

Or, there's an outside chance that there is an internal error in the scope in that the internals of the scope aren't in line with the external tube or the scope is physically bent...

It doesn't need to be a huge error to create this sort of issue - but there is a reason for it and if you can repeat the results with different trigger pullers and on different days it ain't the puller.

An anology to this is the first attempts at military scoped rifles where they wanted to retain the functionality of the basic rifle, iron sights and charger loading and the scope was an additional aid for the marksman. To do this, they offset the scope to the left of the receiver leaving the top of the receiver open to allow access to the charger guides and the iron sights. Mounting the scope to the left meant that it had to be aligned at a known range and at shorter ranges the POI was left, longer it was to the right. Your situation is not quite as extreme but identical, it's now a case of finding out why.
