I had a Renegade with POI issues. Initially it was the old style magazine hitting the pellet probe which caused it. I altered the probe which corrected the problem, but later on, I began having to re-zero every time the gun every time I used it (usually just a few clicks). The seal on the main valve was leaking but only when the gun was fired, so otherwise it held air. Yours is a new gun still under warranty, so I'd take it in for service.

It’s one thing to poi shift and still group.

It’s another thing to get a scattered group.

I have two Huntsman rifles with MTC scopes that are lasers. I think this is a parallax issue. Parallax can and will cause POI issues. I recommend a scope with a closer parallax adjust. Either Hawke, Optisan or MTC offers scopes that focus down to ten yards. Good luck!

Even a 5 mph wind can move a pellet at 30 yards a surprising amount. I did not appreciate it until I was trying the 30 yard challenge. I wasn't happy with my results and ran chairgun to see how much wind could be moving my pellets. Especially for a day to day movement, wind is a possibility. It doesn't take much with a pellet. Wind can cause elevation shift but I still think of it mainly as a horizontal issue. If your groups shift in the direction of the wind, even light wind, then you may have found your culprit.

Hawke Vantage scopes can have parallax adjustment, my 2-7 on my Prod does. They are my pick for an inexpensive airgun scope. None of my scopes are expensive, however. I have a West Hunter 4-16 on my Avenger, an Athlon Talos 6-24 on my P35-22, a Primary Arms 4-14 on my P35-25 and a Primary Arms 4-16 on my P35-177. All except the Hawke are side adjust parallax which is handier. All go down to no more than 10 yards. I hunt at 6X but more magnification is handy for target shooting.
