Great project! What are the dimensions of your foundation?

I went the "simple and easy" route mounting an Atlas rail on the synthetic stock of my FX Bobcat, but when I tightened the screw-in bolts enough to eliminate the wobble of the rail the screws tore out of the composite. I ended up (1) removing the stock; (2) using a Forstner bit in a drill press...

The article below didn't involve an air gun, but is a reminder of the importance of thinking about unexpected ricochet. Golf balls, old tires (and even armadillos) can return fire. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/07/31/us-usa-texas-armadillo-idUSKCN0Q52KR20150731

The fact that your shots are variable left and right, and not up and down, is a strong indicator that wind is the problem. If you run your data through Chair Gun, you'll find that even a 5 mph wind (barely noticeable) can account for several inches of lateral POI change at 100 yards.
