RE: Decided on the Ruger .204, but what brand?
The .220 Swift I am shooting right now is the Ruger M-77, and it certainly is a nice gun and smooth as a guy can hope.
If I do wood again I may go laminated, or synthetic just to suit the purpose of this gun.

Savage, Kimber, Cooper, Ruger,CZ, Remington are a few that make rifles in the .204 Ruger

That is beautiful Reb, so it looks like the M-77 platform will be a decent choice in the .204?

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).

With all the info available about Remington semi-autos, the feeling that one of these might not be reliable is a bit understated............
