Re: Thinking of getting a .204rug?

Love my ruger predator 204. Very accurate and feels great to shoot. I agree they get smoother in time. It all comes down to what feels best and your budget. After you get one that feels right on the shoulder, put a good quality scope on it and you'll be in love.

Re: Nosler Shots

I'm about to buy some to give em a go. Not interested in 0.5" groups so also thought it would be appealing. Most information I can gather leads to a very affordable pest control projectile, right up my alley. I'll try em out and will post details when results arrive :wink:

Re: .204 ruger factory ammo

I'm currently waiting for my Ruger Predator to show up in .204, bought 100 rounds of the federal 39's, good to hear they shoot alright :) Will reload 39's afterwards I think as well. I see a heap of handload figures for these getting around, I'll see what this rifle prefers with some testing.

Re: Ruger Predator 204

From what I can gather it's a Hawkeye with a 24" medium weight barrel, 2 stage trigger etc etc. I like the VT but wasn't keen on the weight so much when the predator will do about the same job. Although i'm no expert :) Putting a Leapould VX3 4.5-14x50 scope on it, shouldn't be too bad a settup...
