Drover: Indeed the 204 Ruger is "beloved" by me and I was shocked at your report - so much so that I went to the "Big Green" (Remington) catalog and looked for myself.
Anyway the Remington 2,012 catalog lists 5 (five) Rifle models in caliber 204 Ruger - they are:
#1 Remington 700 SPS-V.(#84214)
#2 Remington 700 VSF....(#84341)
#3 Remington 700 VLS....(#27467)
#4 Remington 700 VTR....(#84369)
#5 Remington R-15.........(#60000)
Little solace in these 5 offerings - especially for someone intent upon a "walking Varminter type Rifle.
And alas I also looked in vain for anything in 17 Remington Fireball as well as 17 Remington and nothing was to be seen!
And nothing noticed in 222 Remington, 222 Remington Magnum, 6mm Remington, 6.5 Remington Magnum, 350 Remington Magnum etc etc etc.
Makes a Rifleman wonder - what is going on back at Big Green headquarters?
Hold into the wind
