Although I've never shot an elk with it, I can attest to the accuracy of my Remington 300 rum. Mine is a Sendero SF. It's got a Leopold 4-14 50 vari-x III on it. Factory 180gn scirrocos shoot 3/4" groups at 100 yards. I did have to adjust the trigger on it though. The trigger was terrible as set from the factory. I just looked up "Remington Triggers" on the internet and found several sets of instructions on how to adjust the trigger. The trigger is now excellent! After adjusting the trigger on the Remington, you won't be disappointed!
