Re: Our very own Rick in Oregon has................

My favorite magazine! I read it cover to cover. I glanced past the article but had not got that far to read it. I did tonight. Another great read from Rick. Rick, though about 20 years and 1400 miles separate us, I can tell we would be darn good friends. Glad you are back home and getting healthy.

Re: Rick in Oregon

Rick,
Get well soon brother. I will miss your wisdom and shooting stories. If you don't get back out there soon, skippy will overpopulate Oregon.

Godspeed for a quick and complete recovery

Re: CCI 400 primers

Found CCI BR4 at Bass Pro Shop here in SoCal. Not Exactly local to me but I have a buddy who lives pretty close and told him to call me next time he was in there. I had him pick me up 1000.

Re: CCI 400 primers

Anyone know where to buy anything other than CCI 400s in Southern California? I have 2 local shops here in San Diego area and I can't find anything but CCI 400s. I suppose I will have to bite the bullet and pay the hazmat fee for a mail order.

32gr loads struggling to be faster than my 40gr loads

I have an .204 with a .24" 1:10" barrel. I worked up some 32gr and some 40gr over Reloader 10x. Both shot nice groups. The velocity on the 40gr was in the 3800's (I dont have the exact #s handy, but I think avg around 3840). I found the 32gr struggling to beat the velocity of the 40gr. I f...

Re: Gotta share my new rig...

I'm currently waiting on an AR upper chambered in .204 from John at WOA. 1-10 twist PacNor. Should stabilize the 40gr and I got a 24" so hopefully the .32s will still drive tacks. I'll keep you posted....

Re: 222 rem fabled legend, or not vs. 223 rem

in about a month dad is giving me a Remington 722 chambered in .222 which we inherited from the death of our neighbor. Not a fancy gun but I am happy to get it. I'll probably do some work to it, drop in a nice trigger, etc.... I am also building an AR-15 chambered in .204. I'm sure the .204 will be ...

Re: ar-15

I'm curious what the approximate cost of building a high quality custom AR in .204 is. I'm considering a Les Baer and would be looking for similar accuracy.

Re: Remington's new AR rifle in a .204 Ruger!

I don't own a .204 yet. I was going to buy a Sako (still might) but may dad is going to give me his Remington .222 bolt action. So now I think I want to consider a Les Baer since I'll have a nice bolt varmint gun already.

Re: Remington's new AR rifle in a .204 Ruger!

I wonder how accurate they will be. I spoke to a guy who has a Les Baer SVT in .204. He is a competition bench rest shooter and said it sometimes outshoots his 6ppc. You can tack on another 1000 bucks over the Remington for the Les Baer though
