My bet is the scope as well, but a loose action screw will shift poi like that as well. I'm sure you checked them, but most simple first is my motto.

So will the scope sliding in the rings.

From what I see in your post: you have a bad scope. I had this happen with 4 Leupold scopes in 8 months.
they were all fixed under warranty, but they all failed. these were customers scopes.
the eerie fact is that all were mounted on Model 70 featherweights. 3 of them were 7MM R/M. the last was a 264 win mag.
call up Leupold and have it shipped back to them and have them fix it.
to confirm this just put another scope on the gun and see if it groups.

I was referring to the action screws that hold the action in the stock. I thought the OP had checked the scope base to action screws .

I wasn't debating what you said. I was just naming simple things that's easy to miss.
