[QUOTE="diriel, post: 520122, member: 26983"] A good friend of mine has a 204 and he says it is the laser beam of death for smallish type critters. Virtually no recoil, so those really Hurried Up Shots wont "bite" you either. [url=http://www.legacysports.com/products/howa_ranchland.html]Howa/Hogue Ranchland Compact Rifles[/url] -- They also have a Youth Package where you get the same Lite Action and barrel length ect, but you get both a youth sized stock and a standard sized stock that might be good depending on family and such. Howa actually makes a pretty dang good rifle. The Weatherby Vanguard is a rebadged howa, with weatherby tweaks, and the prices can be very competitive. Or [url=http://www.ruger.com/products/m77HawkeyeCompact/models.html]Ruger® M77® Hawkeye® Compact Bolt-Action Rifle Models[/url] Ruger does not list the 204 in the compact, but I would bet a call to them would quickly net you a 204 in this little rifle. That being said, .223, and even 6.8spc are choices in this rifle package. I am not a fan of the SPC but honesty compels me to state that in a bolt gun they can be pretty useful. Ok now to put up a DO WHUUT?? suggestion :) Do you reload? If you do a .308 in the weatherby vanguard with a 12 twist barrel and Sierra 135gr Matchkings using IMR8208XBR powder is 100% purest poison out to dang near 500 yards, and given how Honestly Fast you can drive it, pretty flat shooter too.
