RE: Should I buy this .204 or not? CONCERNED
I have had a few Ruger MKII's and all but one had terrible triggers. They are the "lawyer proof" triggers. The new Hawkeye's are a little better. It is also my experience that the 40gr bullets outshoot the 32gr. Which did you try?
If you want a good value for a .204 give the Remington SPS Varmint a look. I have a Savage Model 12 LowProfile VFS w/AccuTrigger that is a true TackDriver but it is very heavy and very pricey. My son got the Remington and it shoots just as well, has a heavy varmint barrel but weighs much less and costs about $300 less!!!
The Savage Predator Hunter is a good gun. Short heavy barrel swings faster when needed but still very accurate. But Pricey as well.
Again, Give the Remington SPS Varmint a look. You can find them on GunBroker or GunsAmerica or local Remington dealer.
