My 7 in 260 is about a 3 incher with factory loads, even after stiffening the synthetic forend and full length neutral bedding the action/barrel. Handloads with 120 grain Sierras fixed that and turned it into about a 3/4 inch grouper.
My nephews 7 in 308 is about a 3 - 4 inch grouper with factory loads. He ended up giving it to his dad who will never shoot more than 100 yards and he loves it. Ignorance is bliss.
Both rifles are stainless synthetic with 20" tubes.

Those who are always shooting off at the mouth usually aren't shooting straight.
Build a man a fire and he’ll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.
