Huntsman22 what bullet are you running in your 204?

HiVel, it's not very often I whomp one by a fence.....

laker, 40 BT's. Done the BK/v'max/berger thing for a while......




Till I smartened up.

Never did try those 40 grain noslers in mine but after running them in my 223 Ackley I think they'd be great in the 204. Man I gotta stop this 204 talk or I may just buy one again.

Cooper M 22 Phoenix .22-250 with a 3.5x-10x scope. 55 gr NBT.

Most of the time it's my M700ADL 223 with 50TNTs. Some of the time it's an early M77 MKII 22-250 with 55gr. Hornady sp.
Been using a Rock River Coyote Rifle some this last year but prefer the weight and handling of a good bolt rifle.

Winchester M 70 Super Shadow .243 Win now with a Redfield 4x-12x and is being re-stocked with a Boyds thumbhole laminated. Use 70 gr NBT in it,killed 3 coyotes with it but no pics.

Just restocked this one with a HS precision stock. 700 adl 243

Here it is in the factory stock


Also just rebarreled this old 22-250. Still have to do the break in and see if my old old 50gr btip load still shoots in the new barrel



Also have a new 17 hornet that will probably get taken out a few times this winter

Kimber 84M Varmint 22-250 in a Wildcat stock.


Remington Model 7 Predator in 17 Fireball.

I use an AR starting in Jan due to pairing up.

Close work benelli M2, and or Tikka 204 Ruger
Mid range = 243 Sako A7
Longer pokes in western KS = 25-06 or 260

Unless I get my suppressor. Then it's AR time.

Maybe if I get ambitious I'll take out the No.1 in 264WM. Not very fur friendly but should make a real nice pop.

I like a shotgun. Just never been able to call them into the open here in Wi with near the consistency as the thick stuff. A shotgun just works for my kind of calling.

Model 70 coyote lite 24" 22-250. 40gr BTs. Leupold 3.5-10x40 tactical scope.

I like my 22-250,Thriple Deuce,6MM with the 55 gr B-tips were a blast in the late 90's when my hunting buds thought I was loading 90 grainers. AR in 223

700 SPS in 223 that's restocked in a B&C Medalist. Leupold VX-II 4-12x40 AO. Oddly enough, it damn near one-holes Federal American Eagle 50gr JHP.

I killed this old bitch with a 7RM. She dogged me for a couple years...I've used .222,.243,.22-250, .30-06.
I'm debating between a .204 and a .223 for the next one for an all around varminter the triple deuce is about wore out.

I decided to use the trusty 'ol .223 AR on this day, and it worked OK.

But I sure like the .204 AR too. It worked pretty good on this stand of youngsters.

Then last winter I decided to try something a little smaller, and the .17 Rem. seems to kill'em just as dead.

This winter I'm going to compromise and try something between the .204 and .17 Rem. Won't be long and this .17/.204 will get called to duty, and I suspect it'll work just fine as well.

Where's your furball, TR?

Always wanted to try a 17-204 but heard kindler wasn't goin to be making anymore bullets and Im not sure who else makes 30 grain bullets

Well that sucks! I had kinda thought about a 17-204. Maybe somebody will buy his equipment.

But so goes the folly of building a rifle with the intent of shooting a single source, boutique bullet. Similar to what happened when guys were building rifles for Wildcat bullets.
