coles Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 well everyone...i finally did it. i still have my trusty old 22-250 but i bought a new remington 700 sps varmint in 204 ruger. my first 5 shots at 25 yards without breaking in the barrel shot a group that i could cover with a nickel. i was shooting the hornady 40gr v-max. i was impressed to say the least. with the heavy barrel the recoil is like a 17hmr. if you can even call that recoil. but i took it out coyote hunting last friday and i let my brother shoot the only coyote we called in with my 22-250. but there was one dumb gopher still out and i let him hold it. There wasnt much left of him. I put a sightron 2.5-10x44 on it and i cant wait till i have more time to take it out. and the best part of all is that i can get the hornady 40gr. for 11.50 per box versus 18.00 with my employee discount where i work. My dad liked it soo much that he bought an identical one yesterday! I havent taken pics of it yet but as soon as i do i will get the up on here.

Shaun_300 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Awesome! I've been thinking about a .204 for myself, it'd make a darn good wolf gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indianaboy Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 The smoothest flatest shooting most awesome gun and caliber I have ever shot. I will never get rid of it. EVER!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsharp01 Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 I bought a N.E.F Handi Rifle in .204 and love it. Shot chucks this year with it and discovered it was a better choice than a .223. ( my brother has the .223 version and it too shoots great). Would recommend it for any varmint shooter.
