Got me a 204

Got me one of those m700 ADL in 204ruger. Bass Pro had them for 390. Accually got it for my brother. But can't wait to shoot it. Already, I can tell the barrel needs to be freefloated and the trigger adjusted. Will let everyone know the results. One bummer is I need a new cleaning rod. My 22 rod won't fit down it.

Congrats!..... Be sure to let us know the results of your first outing with it...


Use a .17 cleaning rod (one piece of course)

Congrats on your 204!

I picked one up a few months ago and and pleasantly surprised. Midway and Cabelas almost always have .204 in stock. New cases, at least from Hornady, will not be available until 2006. I bought 10 boxes each of the .32 and .40 and thus have an excellent supply of brass.

I have a Ruger .204 M77 compact and had reservations about the thin barrel, but have no regrets now. At 200 yds I can still keep groups under an inch. People that know alot more about building rifles than I do, have made the statement that since the caliber is so new, the tooling should produce extremely accurate rifles.

The guys over on the AR forum - Varmint Hunting, have some great reports and loading info, if you are interested.

Good luck with your .204!

Where I work I am close to Bass pro, and have alot of ammo available. Wonder if they are having luck with either the Hornady or the Remington Accutips.

Reload the Berger Bullet for best results.....so far there seems to be an adge for lighter bullets and especially the Berger bullet.

Almost bought one my self, but it was Ruger ss the barrel seemed realy short though and just didnt feel right. Wonder how they would do on coyotes?
