+1 on a trigger job.. My ruger m77 .308 had, what I thought, was acceptable accuracy for where i hunt (typically 75 yrds or less shots)..
I had a $65 trigger job (polish and lighten) made a huge difference accuracy.. The trigger weight dropped from ~8 lbs to about 3.75 lbs.. Much easier to get better accuracy with a lighter trigger..
Also, as mentioned the more you shoot the better your accuracy gets.. I (like most ppl) need to just get more trigger time each year..
I also found that my .308 was hard on my shoulder for shooting in hot weather due to the thinner shirts vs heavy hunting coat- so i just ordered a shoulder pad to take some of the thump out of the gun so I will want to shoot longer.
