I had scope issues just like that . You might try iron sights to be sure its not the scope .Marvin

I can`t  really see that, the BSA and Bug Buster get the same results both are fine on other guns,and neither have ever been on a spring gun.........

In my case, the same symptoms I blame on my eyes.  They vary a bit from day to day.  Between them and my built in shake, good shooting is a challenge.

Could that thing you have mounted up front of the barrel be shifting?  I had one that worked like a charm, then would shift a little.  Turns out the brake had a little looseness to it and when I'd put her in the rack it'd just barely touch the wall enough to knock it goofy.  Just a thought.

Free float your airtube with a small piece of craft foam between the front of the airtube and the stock . A change in temps can cause an airtube that's not free floated to shift and make the POI change. Foam is cheap and if it works .... If it doesn't , you're not out much. kirby

I'm certainly no expert, so aside from checking for the obvious like loose screws, etc., you might consider if you are canting the rifle differently between shooting sessions.  I believe a small shift in hold can move POI from side to side in small amounts.  I'm considering getting a scope level for myself.
