Decided on the Ruger .204, but what brand?
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? |
RE: Decided on the Ruger .204, but what brand?
Here's a pretty good site on the .204 http://www.rugerhunting.com/forum/
Savage, Kimber, Cooper, Ruger,CZ, Remington are a few that make rifles in the .204 Ruger |
RE: Decided on the Ruger .204, but what brand?
I have a CZ and love it. I have not herd of a CZ that is not accurate. It shoot at 1in at 200 yards all day.

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.

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.

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. |

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.

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. |

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

RE: Decided on the Ruger .204, but what brand?
ORIGINAL: wyotimberghost 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).;) |

The CZ 527 isnt a bad little walking varminter, they can be had in either walnut or with an H-S Precision stock.

RE: Decided on the Ruger .204, but what brand?
The accuracy of this Swift is spoiling me, I hope I can find a rifle that offeres the same results in a .204
