Shooting a .220 Swift, I am hooked on speed!
Decided a new Ruger .204 is going to be my next gun, but where do I start on looking for a brand? When I got my .17 there were only a couple that could be relied on 100% and got great reviews, where do I go for .204 info?

If you want to save a $ or two, H&R chambers the 204 in a couple of models. I bought a Handi-Rifle late summer 2007, and it is my favorite rifle to shoot by leaps and bounds.
The new Remington R-15 VTR is offered in the .204. Might be a little pricey and not 100% reliable, but it sure would be a sweet gun.
Why don't you think it would be reliable?

Thanks guys, I did see that .204 forum and read through a bit, figured this question would have been pretty redundant over there.
That Remington R-15 is very cool, but here in Canada it is considered a restricted weapon, making it illegal to hunt with.
I have my eye on the Ruger #1 Varmint, http://www.rugerhunting.com/ruger_1_varmint.php
But do not know of it's reliability or consistent accuracy.

It might not be 100% reliable because it is a semi-auto and there's always the possibility that it could jam, even if it is a very well-made firearm and in all reality has very little chance of jamming. I don't mean to imply that the VTR is not a reliable gun, and I'm not trying to slam the VTR in any way (I wouldn't mind having one myself).

Okay, I see what you mean. I thought you might have had some inside info about the VTR.

You might check out the Rugers themselves. One thing to consider is that they have the scope base milled into the gun and come with scope rings. This can save a few bucks. I have a M77 in 270 and it is a fine bolt action rifle.
