What scope are you all running for varmints.

The problem I had scoping my 204 ( A Tikka) was to find a scope that was good enough to wring all the accuracy out of the little sucker. It is the most accurate rifle I ever owned. I ended up with a 3X12 Nikon Monarch on it. Some of the scope choice depends on the use of the rifle, whether you plan to sit and shoot all day at long ranges or if you are doing more stalking. Unless your rifle is a heavy varmit type, I'd go with a 4X16 of good quality.

If you love someone set them free
If they come back no one else liked them

Nikon 6-18 with Bullet Drop Compensator reticule and side focus. The side focus is super handy for vermin as you barely have to move. Like it so well I doubt I'll ever buy another scope without side focus.

Older Leupold Vari X III 6.5-20X in Leupold dual dovetail B&R. The rifle is essentially a 700 VSSF assembled from aftermarket parts, only the action is factory, the barrel is PacNor, stock is a direct order from HS Precision, trigger is a Jewell HVR.
It works. Stuff dies.

My Remington VLS in .204 Ruger wears a Zeiss 6.5-20x50mm with a #20 reticle. Works great for me.

I use any of the following:
Bushnell Elite 4200 6-24x
Nikon Monarch 6.5-20x AO
Nikon Monarch 6-24 SF
Leupold VX-II 6-18
Clearidge Ultra XP 6-20 (a Monarch sized tube with Bushnell Elite 4200 glass, best buy on the market right now). This is currently on Savage PTA with Shilen Select Match .204 Ruger barrel.
They'll all do just fine.

O I've got one of these on my .204 as well. I don't like the BDC reticle, I like the glass a lot, but hate that reticle.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

Keep shooting the BDC, differant for me too, but I learned to love it. The side focus is what sells it for me.
