I would (and have) follow what elgallo114 said. Make sure that your scope is good and tight. You said in the first post that you hadn't shot the gun in years. Next is to make sure that your rest is firm and puts you in a comfortable position to absorb the recoil. Also, have the scope on the lowest power that allows you to see the target clearly. Too high of a power gets you moving too much. Shoot the same brand of ammo till you get the gun sighted in where it hits consitantly at the same point of impact. Switching brands or types of ammo and bullet weights is going to change the poi but it shouldnt be off by more than a couple of inches. Also make sure that you clean your gun after several shots and let the gun cool every few shots as well. Remember that a cool barrel is what you will be shooting game with so that is the point of impact that you want going where you know its going to hit.
