Not in 204 but really like mine in 223.

Wouldn't mind it if mine was a 204, bad medicine on coyotes.

Not a Ruger fan in the least. But I sure do like the 204. Itโ€™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.


What fresh Hell is this?

Considering the meager recoil of the .204 sounds like I might need a new Dillon to feed it ! ๐Ÿ˜

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

A 39 grain Blitzking is pure poison.

Clynn: Well you picked the correct caliber.
I have several Rugers in 204 Ruger caliber but I don't think any are "Predators"!
I have a Ruger #1-B, a #1-V (SS) and two Ruger Model 77 V/T's.
Am impressed with the accuracy of all of them.
I hope your Predator doesn't disappoint in the accuracy department.
Good luck.

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


Just because you're offended doesn't mean your right.

Fwiw, I have good results on coyotes with 35 gr Bergerโ€™s and on PDs 32 gr VMax.
