Craigster: I own one of the Ruger #1-V SS Rifles in 204 Ruger - this is the heavy barrel model with gray laminated stock - it shoots rather well with the high power Leupold variable scope I have on it.
And a Remington 700 VLS in 204 Ruger was the second Rifle I purchased in 204 Ruger caliber - it is quite accurate. I checked my loading log and the last four times I took this VLS to the range for sight in verification (in four different years!) the average of those four sight in verification groups (5 shots at 100 yards) comes to .386:!
That is splendid accuracy in my experience.
I have as yet to encounter (buy for myself!) an "in-accurate" heavy barrel Rifle in caliber 204 Ruger.
I own 8 (eight) Rifles in 204 Ruger currently.
I think the 204 Ruger is one of THE most inherently accurate Varmint cartridges ever developed!
