It is a bolt action and I do have a gun vise. I've been thinking along the same lines as you about how to figure out what the problem actually is. The first thing I'm going to do is shoot it with the old scope back on it. If it shoots properly that will pretty much indicate that it is the Zeiss that is defective.
But, if I put the defective Zeiss on a gun and bore sight it, I don't think there would be a way that I could duplicate the shock of recoil without bumping it around and taking the bore off of its point of impact. In other words, if I bump it hard enough to duplicate the recoil, then the barrel isn't going to be pointed in the same place.
I'm pretty sure this scope has a lifetime warranty but I'm just stumped as far as figuring out a way to prove that it is actually the scope.
