Welcome to Graybeard.

I believe what you're saying is that there is little vertical spread in your groups but quite a bit of lateral spread.  A loose scope would probably cause both vertical & lateral dispersion.  Similarly, if you're holding steady enough to get little vertical spread, you shouldn't have too much lateral spread.  My first guess would be you have a scope problem, i.e., something wrong with the windage adjustment.
