Crusader: It appears that your main targets will be p-dogs, therefore you would be most happy with a heavy barreled rig.
I have three 204's. Two heavy barrel rigs, savage 12 VLP & BTVSS, which are my main p-dog rigs and I also have a laminated stainless T3 which is my main yote rig (nice and light) but always comes out into the p-dog fields with me (can never have to many). If I was to pick another one it would probably be the tikka varmint hunter. All three of my rigs will do 1/2" or better at 100 yds. Our ground squirrels are just coming out so have been very busy with re-loading. I still have about 1800 pieces of prepped brass waiting for powder. I'm hoping for another good season like last year (I went through over 2000 rounds).
