Hi all I'm new here. But need some expert help.
I own a Remington 660 in 308. I am mainly just a hunter shooter. So I go out sight in the rifle then go hunting, And put it up for a year . I have been some what disappoint with the groups I get from my 660 . Granted I have never had to shoot an elk past 70 yards.. Just good luck though. I would like to feel comfortable out to 200+ ish yards. But with the groupings I get with the 660. Fist sized at best. At 100 yards I don't think I am up to it. I have been looking at getting some thing like the marlin,xl7. In an 30-06 or 308 ,or a savage axis . Or should I maybe get a new scope or do some thing else to. To. 660 to make is shoot better.. I hear they are suppose to be a good shooting gun.. I just have never found that.. The scope I have now is weaver 3x7 something, it has had some problems fogging and the back lens was knocked out by the recoil then glued back in.
I mainly hunt elk in Wyoming. I have take 5 elk, and 2 dear with the 660 since I got it a few years back.
Thanks for any thoughts!
