Does the fitting of a scope affect the regulation of a double rifle regulated for open sights?

Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. I have rifles that go both ways.

I don't know the answer as one 9.3x74 has a Zeiss 1.75x6x42 rail mount {a heavy steel scope} on it and shoots the same group with it or without it.

On 8x57 with a 2x Lyman Alaskan shoots about 6" wide with the R barrel 3" high with the scope and inside 2" with the iron sights.

My 450/400 3 1/4 with a Leopold 1.5x5 shoots almost the same.

Go figure.
