[QUOTE="VarmintGuy, post: 258019, member: 10334"] Greywolf: I own both calibers and have Hunted Varmints quite a bit to date with them. I now shoot 5 Varmint Rifles in caliber 204 Ruger and one Varminter in 17 Remington Fireball. In addition I had a custom Varminter made in caliber 17 MachIV (which is the identical twin to the 17 Remington Fireball) 13 years ago. I love BOTH calibers! I have Hunted lots of Prairie Dogs with both calibers. My newish 17 Remington Fireball Rifle is a splendidly accurate Remington 700 VSF. It shot Remington factory ammunition VERY well indeed! My first two groups (each 5 shots at 100 yards) with my new 17 Fireball and factory ammunition measured .533" and .586"! All five of my Varminters in 204 Ruger shot Hornady factory ammunition very well also! This is an unusual set of circumstances by the way. If I had to choose ONE caliber for my Prairie Dog Hunting it would be the 204 Ruger over the 17 Remington Fireball - by a single Badgers hair! Best of luck with whichever you choose. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy [/QUOTE]
