[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 496502, member: 30902"] 204 Ruger hands down for your application. One nice thing about that tiny little bullet traveling @4000fps + is that it literally explodes if you hit anything. That means if you miss your intended target the odds of damaging property, game, or farm/ranch animals is extremely minimal. When compared to the .223 I find it to be an absolutely superior varmint round for any application. BBL life is no problem at all if you aren't pushing max loads. I have about 4,500 rounds through my CZ 527 (stock bbl) and it still drives tacks. Avoid max loads, and do proper/regular maintenance and it should serve you well for a long time. For my next .204 or .220 swift I'll probably have Accuracy Systems Inc in Colorado build me one in an AR-15 platform, if not one of their custom Ruger Mini's. Carl is amongst the best rifle builders I have ever been associated with and I've been a very satisfied customer for a long time.
