I would look at the scope mounts and the methods you used. I would doubt that it is the scope.

I would look at the scope mounts and the methods you used. I would doubt that it is the scope.
Start off by zeroing your windage. Count how many clicks from completely left to completly right. Then dial half that number. That should put your windage dials in the middel of its adjustments.
Find a place where you have about 25 yds clearance. Place a large white board at the furthest point. A whitish wall etc will also do. Next place your rifle in a sturdy vice or rifle work station at the other end, remove the bolt. Peer down the barrel and let a friend mark the spot that you can see through the barrel. (or use those laser bullets if you have one)
Now carefully place the scope onto the bottom rings and lightly place the top rings. Only slightly tighten the screws. Look through the barrel again, make sure you are still on your spot. Look through the scope at your windage. How far out are you? If not a lot, tighten up again and keep checking.
If all stays on line, then good and well. If the windage starts going wayyyy out, your mounts are out of alighnment,
Hope this helps and is a starting point.
