You may need to fine-tune your AF for your lens. It could be your D800 body. I have had the problem with my D800 body but not with my 200/2 VR lens, and it has always been spot on and required no fine-tune for different bodies that I have used.
Regarding the calibration method, I do agree with Will (trenchmonkey) that you should go outdoor and setup the targets as suggested to determine the amount of adjustment that you may need. Your setup may confuse your camera and add additional complication.
That's the whole problem. I'm not able to af-finetune, due to the inconsistent focus. When I take 5 shots, I need 3 different af-finetune settings...

Clean the contacts! Lens as well as body, then blow out the AF sensor
slits under the mirror. Had a buddy ready to throw his in the lake
with complaints like yours...took me all of 10 minutes to remedy (and
that's including the fine tuning) Ended up with -15 and it's perfect now.

Thanks I'd like to chalk it up to my superfluous technique, erudite composition, and avant garde processing, but it really is mostly the lens.
Quit being so modest. Your finger gets some credit, it did push the shutter release button after all.
The chubby is going to be one of my main travel lenses I hope - odd choice given the weight, but tomorrow the house is sold and we're going RV'ing for a couple of years! Six liters of turbodiesel won't notice the extra load
Holler if you make it out this way in your travels.
