Default RE: sighting in for different positions of shooting?

if your point of impact is changing it is not the gun. it is most likely you and your scope. if you are only shooting pretty good off the bags i am almost sure it is you moving not the point of impact. if you have a scope that the point of aim changes when you move your head a little the scope is useless for any precision. this is the whole idea for buying a good scope. the better the scope the less parallax error. with a good scope you do not have to be consistent in your setup nor do you have to center your eye directly behind the scope. with a low end scope the parallax error can get out of hand with any change in the way you look threw the scope. a cheap scope would work fine for a deer because you have giant kill zone. but say shooting at a squirrel the kill zone is about an inch so you want the precision. most anybody can learn to shoot good with the right equipment.
