Just went to the range for the first time this winter and all of my zeros were way off (like 5-6”) even at 10 yards but from a standing position.
Only very experienced shooter can even come close to shooting as good standing as using a sand bag as a rest.
IMO, you can not make any conclusion on if the sights are good or bad when shooting in a standing position.
Don't do anything to the gun sights until you shoot some using a gun rest. When sighting in a gun, your body need to be well rested or you body muscles will not hole the rifle steady.

Agreed. I'm not a lifetime hunter but not new with it either, and I just noticed this year that I am pulling a little left with one particular gun. I had to find a way to stabilize at the range to confirm that, but I'm glad I did vs. just turning the dial on the scope.
That said, I think my really old arse rifle isn't quite consistent (different gun than the above). Lots of factors.
