I just purchased a Savage .223 for some predator hunting. I already had a bull barrel gun I traded for but wanted something lighter to carry into the field. I should receive the gun next week sometime. Today I run across a Savage chambered in a .204 for $350. A buddy is willing to sell to me at this price. Never considered this caliber but after doing some research it seems like a awesome round. Never needed a good reason to buy a gun so I am sure this one will follow me home. What say the experts, should I add her to the safe.

Not an expert but I do love the 204, I have shot a couple yotes with mine and seem to do a fine job also have shot a butt load or prairie dogs with the 204. $350 I guess if it looked good don't have much to lose!

.204Ruger with 40gr.VMAX is awesome and with flawless Savage performance too.
Good luck with your new rifle.

Told my buddy I would take it. Told the wife it's a early Christmas gift for myself. Hopefully she can't tell the difference between .223 and a .204.

Reggie I kept thinking that with my wife too, but they catch on when you have to buy another gun cabinet
