Did you bore sight ?
I usually mount scopes and bore sight in my kitchen. With the rifle sitting on a cradle, I point the barrel down the hallway towards the back door. I place an orange target dot on the edge of the door, usually just below the door handle. With the bolt removed, look through the barrel. Move the sticky orange dot so that it is centered while looking through the barrel. The vertical line of the door is used to align the vertical cross hair in the scope. Adjust the cross hairs on the scope so that they are on the orange dot too. The rifle and scope are now bore sighted and should be reasonably close when you shoot at 25 yards to range test it.
