If scoped, no surprise at all. Just depends how high the centerline of the scope is to the centerline of the bore. If fiber optic or iron sights, that's a bit more surprising.

My Model 70 in 270 with medium rings shoots dead on at 35 yards and is 2-1/2 to 3 inches high at 100yds. All scoped rifles have 2 zeros unless the scope is set to shoot too low and the bullet never crosses the line of sight.

I have not done any comparisons like above to any of my smokepoles but the physics remain the same.
