How do you fix that?
I Bugle Too
Firstly, don't take out your frustration on the scope, as I'm doubtful its the culprit here. Having the same problem with a previous scope on said rifle is fairly damning evidence.
You didn't mention what rifle it was, but a Leupold STD base and rings are windage adjustable.
Lastly, do you know the history of said rifle?
Remember a Ruger Mini 30 that a buddy bought used years ago that exhibited the same issue, only much worse. In his case it was a bent barrel. When he pressed the seller on the issue, it came to light that the gun was involved in a quad accident, but being it was in a gun boot, it showed no visible signs of trauma.

Last rife I encountered with similar problem the Burris z posi align rings worked great
The only advantage to a light rifle is it's weight, all other advantages go to the heavier rifle..

The rifle is is brand new from the dealer it's a Troy PAR308win I have a Nikon M-308 one piece mount and rings with a Nikon monarch 3 scope

Definitely sounds like the holes aren't lined up with the bore.
OPotions would be trying the posi-align system previously mentioned or windage adjustable Leupold. A one piece mount that doesn't allow you to correct for it simply won't work.
Good boots, cheap gun
I saw a video on YouTube that talked about this. Something about seating the prism or whatever. I tap my Trijicon whenever I make an adjustment.

Would love to be able to have a hands on look at your set up , sure its not all that bad , just something is not set up right .

Wouldn't recoil from firing do the same thing? I highly doubt a quality scope such as a trijicon requires either, but fill your boots. Any scope I find that needs such attention goes in the trash, ain't nobody got time for that...

Check to make sure that your scope has been mounted with the elevation adjuster on the top and the windage on the right hand side. I saw a guy at the range who had his scope mounted 90 degrees to this with windage on top and elevation on the left side. No matter how much he dialed the windage it still shot to the right with the scope in this position.
