RE: .204 Rifle
People, people, do as I do ignore brutal. He's not worth your time. What good does it do to argue whether a 250 is or isn't better than a 204. its pointless, and brutal will never admit that he's wrong even when you prove him wrong.
The 204 is a nice piece. The 22-250 is a nice piece. They both splatter Prairie Dogs like crazy. I don't like a 250 in a dog town because it heats up too quickly. The 204 heat rapidly as well but not as rapidly as the 250. I've killed many many coyotes with a 250 and it really is my fav. coyote rifle. I made my longest shot on a ground hog with the 204 at 578 yards. So quit arguing with an idiot.
OBTW the 204 isn't even my favorite 20 cal. I much prefer the 20 VT , or 20 Tactical. Now 17's I like the 17 Mach IV (not Mach II which is rimfire)
