A good rifle will not make a scope track better, nor will a bad rifle make the scope track worse.
HOWEVER, a rifle that has constant impact shifts (barrel stress), or shoots large groups, much of the rifle's poor performance may be blamed on the optic. It is hard to test scope's tracking by SHOOTING if the rifle isn't nearly perfect.
Optic tracking performance should conducted separately from the rifle if you want to truly test the optic and not the rifle or a combination there of.
