When we use a cheap riflescope in heavy recoil rifle, because of some reasons it dos not work properly and the point of impact of bullets differ bullet by bullet. Maybe something happens in erector tube which should improve.

Yes, I am a sport shooter and I know the tricks of consistent shooting such as using cartridges of same lot with same weight and also having tight screws of rifle scope, use good rest to shoot, etc.
It is not only my problem, some people in my group which use cal. 270Win, 8mm Mauser, and powerful air guns with cheap rifle scope, have same problem.
My question clearly is: what in the differences between cheap and expensive rifle scopes? Of course not in aspects of light and lenses but in mechanical aspects which affect the point of impact in one group shooting. Is it possible to improve a cheap rifle scope? For example change the erector tube or such a thing?

There are many reasons you can have problems with a rifle scope. As Pathfinder stated it could be a mixture of ammunition or even in some ammo it can vary from lot to lot. IT could also be the rings and mount are not tight or properly attached. You could just have a defective scope or one not designed to take such heavy recoil. It may be moving in the rings and mount. It could be a loose lens or other scope component. It could be that the shooter is not up to the task. Is the rifle being rested on sandbags or in a rifle vise to take away the human factor? Without more information on what exactly is happening at the target it is very hard to help you. Look at the body of the scope are there marks from it moving under recoil? Could you of tightened the rings down too much and crushed the scope body? It could be that the scope you are using is just a cheap piece of junk. If you give me more information and the caliber of the rifle the scope set up what type pf mount and rings, scope and any other information you may have I will try my best to help. I will check back here later today to see if you have posted any additional information. Good Luck and I hope to be able to help.

It could be your scope has been dropped and your cross hairs or the reflective glass has shifted and is no longer stable, hence changing upon each shot.
You can take your scope into a sproting goods store that carries items like that and have someone look at it, they might be able to tell.
Good luck!

Point of impact is going to vary with different bullet styles and weight, regardless if you have the best scope in the world. This is why you zero your gun for a certain bullet and this is what you use. If you decide to use another bullet weight and style, then you re-zero.

i cheap scope is a cheap scope, there is not a way to make it better. you can wast o lot of time and energy trying to tweak a scope, but if it will not retain it's point of aim, it is time to get a better one.
