My 204 went down the road because of a coyote I shot, it didn't do what I needed it to. I could blame it on the wrong bullet, shot placement, barometric pressure, whatever but If I had hit it in the exact same place with any number of other varmint caliber it would have been DOA. Instead I had to track her down and finish the job. That said it has it's place and I might end up with another one some day. right now I'm in love with the 17FB....that too will change in time, I'm a varmint caliber junky.
