[QUOTE="lewwetzel, post: 1553386, member: 21496"] I have three .204R’s: A CZ Kevlar Varmint (discontinued), a Cooper M21, and a Remington LVSF (also no longer made, unfortunately). All are shooters. A new walnut C-Z Varmint can be bought for well under 700 bucks. One could add a synthetic H-S Precision or B&C stock later; maybe fit an 11 or 10-twist barrel when you wear out the original; the CZ 527’s set trigger is already very good for a rifle in that price range. I also like the C-Z Varmints because they have enough barrel but don’t weigh a ton. I handload, but almost any store-bought ammo under 40 grains I’ve tried shoots okay in a .204. Do wish Federal still offered the 39 Blitzking-tipped ammo; the closeout stuff I stocked up on for “emergencies” almost equals my handloads for accuracy in my C-Z and Cooper. FWIW, Cabela’s may still have their heavy-barreled Savage 12FV on sale for around $350; also - if you don’t need a repeater, and if one can be found - a used Remington XR100 should be a dandy.
