[QUOTE="Buano, post: 514437, member: 21641"] I've had plenty of Remingtons & Savages & if I was shopping for a factory varmint rifle there is little chance a Remington would be considered. Remington makes some nice rifles, some of which shoot well stock & most of the rest can be made to shoot well. That said, I've never seen a (modern) Savage that didn't shoot as well or better than a comparable Remington. A 500 yard varmint rifle MUST be accurate, so if you aren't going to customize, stick with a Savage. Although I have yet to own a .204, I'm sure I will soon. The .22-250 is proven. Both are good rounds & both will handle varmints to 500 yards. The .22-250 has the potential to buck the wind better, could reach out a little further than the .204 while the .204 has almost no recoil. Each has an advantage. If 300 yards was your max I would say stick with the .204, since you want to shoot to 500 I would reach for a .22-250. [/QUOTE]
