What air rifle are you having the problem with....
If it is a spring powered on then resting it on the chair could be the problem......it would probably cause it to be very inaccurate.
(Unless it's an AA TX200 SR, or a Whiscombe etc etc ((UNLIKELY))!)
What you need to promote is free recoil.
Try bundling up a towel to rest the rifle on, and hold it loosely....
Put the target at approx 10m.
Wind the adjusters fully in one direction (but not TOO fully!!!) then wind them all the way to the other end of their adjustment, counting how many revolutions or clicks......Then wind them both half the way back.... The scope 'should' be centred.
Remember when adjusting at 10m, you will need a larger adjustment for a small change than at 25m.
If the scope says one click it 1/4 inch at 100m. Then it should take 10 clicks to move the point of impact 1/4 inch at 10m.
If you cannot get the point of impact to move far enough to hit where you think you are aiming, you could have a mounting issue.
Check the mounts are on straight. Are they decent mounts?? Or El cheapo chineese from Fleabay???
Expensive scope would be lovely, but a bit overkill on even a reasonably priced spring air rifle.
Personally, I would say you would be better to spend your money on something like an HW77k (new or spookily the older sometimes the better!!!), and a second hand half-decent scope...from someone reliable, who won't rip you off!!! For possibly under �200 you will have a combination that if it performs.....will be better than you or I will ever be!!!
Just my thoughts.
