haha I have handed a people a gun saying there was a round and watched the gun "kick" as they fired too. Its a good trick. I think a lot of people would be surprised how many people jerk when they pull the trigger. It takes a lot of practice and discipline to become a good shooter. That being said, that is a great rifle, I really doubt something is wrong. The scope is not the best, but unless it has been damaged it should also be ok. It is either your rings, or you. If it is your rings it is possible the scope is moving a little everytime you shoot, causing it to be all over the place. If it is you, then shoot shoot shoot. practice till it is second nature.
