I need to buy a new scope for my 204 Ruger. I have a VX-I from Leupold on it now and I am very very pleased with it. I have roughly 450 dollars to spend, I want something in 12-16x. Most importantly I want something of decent quality, I know 450 dollars isn't much... but that's all I got. I previous...

That is exactly where the scratches are coming from! I don't have too many tools here so I just used a file to get it roughly the shape I wanted and smoothed it down with some sandpaper wrapped around a pencil. Problem solved.

Lenard, I know this is kind of bouncing off topic.. again.. I think I may have a solution to the rough action problem! (key word being MAY!) I only say this because I was able to make my action smooth as silk today! First I took my bolt apart and cleaned it out with a little wire brush and some wate...

Jo, I would have to say that the rifling is rather abstract, but at the same time it is there. I put a flashlight at the end of my barrel and looked down the other side. At a strait on view you can just see some little swirls in there, but if you tilt your head off center a bit some nice rifling is ...

Lenard, Just a few posts up I asked you how smooth your action was. Today I took apart my bolt and cleaned it. There was a LOT of crap in there and the action is way smoother now. I know very well I haven't shot over 100 rounds out of my .204 either. Us having the same rifle, you may want to give th...

Hey everybody, I'm Graham. I am 15, and I live in northeastern Ohio. Bought my first rifle last spring, (Rem 700 SPS in .204) and decided I'd join this forum so I could ask questions and advice from all you guys! I play hockey and like to hunt groundhogs... yup.. that's about it.

One more for that ruling.. But I have to admit, mine shot great. Never had any problems with it other than the way it looked... Check out http://www.stockysstocks.com/servlet/the-REM-700-CDL-LIQUIDATION/Categories if you're interested in buying something else. They have some nice walnut stocks that ...

How smooth is the action on your 700? Mine is alright without any cartridges in it, but things get kinda rough when you add ammo. Do I just need to shoot it more or is something wrong.. or I am just being picky..

Howdy Lenard, I have the exact same rifle you do, and it cuts holes for me at 100 yards. I am using 40 grain v-max bullets from Hornady (Not handloads). I haven't ever tried anything else because these shoot so well for me! I just bought a stock from Boyd's and received it yesterday. If I am still g...

It's their laminated pepper wood. I'm not sure if you want the same style as I have, but if you do.. be ready for a treasure hunt. Everyone was out of that style, but I found one eventually! Boyd's makes less of them because they make more of a profit from the thumb hole stocks.

Finally got my Boyd's stock for my Remington! ..after what seemed like an eternity of waiting (12 days :lol: ) Here's some pictures My sweet 204 along side the ol' model 88 in 308 [img] http://s549.photobucket.com/albums/ii393/Wiiings12/?action=view&current=DSC00028.jpg[/img] A close up of the g...

Another vote for Harris. I have been using my dad's for a year or two and they are ancient! But still work wonderfully

Wow Rick! That is some beautiful landscape you hunt on there!

My Remington is a wonderful gun and I enjoy shooting it. But there is just this one problem! The bolt release never works! it has worked before, before I had a gunsmith do some trigger work. The problem is there is a pin-type-thing that you push up on (its by the trigger) and it contacts a lever tha...

I THINK that Bushnell bought B&L in 2000. (if I remember right) ... and that's about all I can help with! haha
Just figured I'd let you know what I do! .. hopefully that helped you in some way!

Ok, I think am going to go with Bushnell. I have a leupold VX-I now, and I really like it! some people say its not clear and all that, but I see through it wonderfully. That being said, I don't really want to spend every last penny I have on a scope I wont see the difference in. I got a chance to co...
