Which .204 gun to buy? H&R?

I like the ballistics of the .204. I will be doing a lot ofwoodchuck hunting, long shots, as well as coyotes. Does anyone own a H and R single shot .204? It seems that with the bull barrell and a wood stock would interest me, and they are pretty economical. Is there any other economical single shots out there? Bolt action seem a bit too pricy of a gun for me. How reliable of a gun is this? thanks

I have the 204 in the bull barrel.The gun shoots real good i mounted a 5-15X40 on it. Im going to try it on yotes next week hopefully it does the trick.

I have the 204 in an encore, and looking back I regret this platform. One, it cost me a fortune to get the gun to shoot. But its very accurate now. Second, I have used it for groundhog shooting and its ok, but if you have to take a follow up shot, an encore is not the gun. Maybe freehand its ok, but with bipods and all, not possible. I wished I put the money into a bolt looking back.
