Not feeling the love

[trevort]

so much anymore for my 204.

So sell it and build from scratch or modify?

One of the thoughts is that I could get the bolt face opened and a single shot follower installed and rechambered to 20 ppc.

What do you think this sort of conversion would cost and who in Victoria would you recommend?

I'll give you 2 carton of vb and a bottle of rum for it !

[frakka]

I think you're seriously understating the value of a carton of VB.

Dunno about who to get down that way but $500 should see that job done...................why does it have to be someone in Victora?

[trevort]

So I dont have to post it

[chris.tyne]

What is the problem with posting it?

I liked your rifle.
My favorite rifle is my 6/250, I think the stock has a lot to do with it. If I was to start again I would start with a PST083

But then you have a known performer. You start

You have me thinking, I will even throw in a silly looking hat that was left at Yass.

Peter Van Muers has a good young bloke working for/through him now for gunsmithing. I would try there in the first instance.

Hi Trevort,
Can I ask why you aren't feeling the love anymore?
What make is this 204?
The reason I ask is I to haven't been happy with a 204 and have spent a bit of $'s trying to get what I did want.
In hind sight I could have spent a lot less and built what I wanted.
But that's hind sight.
What's your reasons for going for a 20ppc?

Teepee I had Clancy build a full custom on a Stiller predator. I wanted a big heavy beast that doesnt move under recoil so it has a mcmillan a5 and a kreiger no 9 truck axle (in 10 twist so it uses the cheap and plentiful 40vm)

In the meantime I got my JAB 20 with a 24inch light varmint barrel on a 527.

Since most of my shooting is spotlighting or driving from spot to spot for sniping over the bonnet the JAB comes out when I want 20 and the 204 has probably only fired 300 rounds in the 5 or so years I have had it.

It is awesome shooting prone, and every time I'm about to sell it I have a chance to do some prone sniping and change my mind. But that's a rarity and it spends the next 12 months in the safe.

So I shot Gary's 20ppc at the missedathon and the thinking is maybe if it was a PPC I would use it because its "differnt" enough from the JAB.

But then I think that doesnt change the fact its a big heavy beast for prone shooting and I mostly shoot from a vehicle and my head starts ticking.

I once told my wife never to let me sell it and the last couple of times I went to list it she interjected

But I use it so infrequently


Hmmm. You get the picture!!!

I just had my 20 PPC rebuilt.

I had the barrel reprofiled because it was just to heavy for a varmint/spotlighting gun!

Had the barrel fitted to a Siller D'back action.
The action was bedded in the original stock till I get the new one made!

Your gun would be easy to change to be 20 PPC.
Open bolt face and rechamber.
