Eyeing a new Ruger Hawkeye predator in 204 . Looks like fur friendly coyote poison ! 😁

Not a Ruger fan in the least. But I sure do like the 204. It’s terrific on PDs and works well on coyotes.

A PD shooting pard has one. Yep. You won't be sorry.

Great triggers. A bit heavy, like most Hawkeyes, with a somewhat tubby barrel. Gave my .308 to my son, who picked it over several others in the pile.

Considering the meager recoil of the .204 sounds like I might need a new Dillon to feed it ! 😏

You will like watching hits on coyotes and pretty quiet report.

Finally gave in and picked up a 204 last year in a Browning a bolt stalker. She's heavy,but shoots .250 groups when I do my part. And it's not hard on fur. Wish I had got a 204 years ago

Fwiw, I have good results on coyotes with 35 gr Berger’s and on PDs 32 gr VMax.
