The B&L scopes you are speaking of, they are the Bushnell Elite series correct?

Any opinions on this scope. I have a Nikon Monarch on my rifle now but I stole this from another rifle in my safe. I will be getting a new one for my 204 and was looking at the Leupold V-X II ,6-18X40 with the Long Range Duplex Varmint reticle. Any thoughts, opinions or ideas. I looked at the Bushne...

Thanks folks, I probably should have mentioned this was not for my 204. This was for my 30-06. Thanks for the info.

Does anyone use primer sealer? I was told before that nail polish works just as well but I have also been told it is not needed at all. Just curious what the consensus is?

Gube nice looking dog. You have no idea how lucky you are being where you are, or maybe you do :chin: I can only dream of being able to "Take one off of the deck" Considering that you have killed yotes with both, BK's and Bergers, you would reccomend Bergers I guess? Ever have a Berger spl...

Gube, I gotta agree. The real nice thing is they try to hunt with me during hte reagular season here but it is often to cold and I don't want to give them a bad taste about hunting. This is nice, it's warm typically a decent amount of game and so on. It was a good day.

Rick, I was thinking of going to the patent office with my original bipod. It doubles as a sleeping bag. I don't think there is another like it.

Well we went out today. It was a Saturday and I was off. The weather yesterday was supposed to be partly sunny. That seemed to be the only part that was not out. Anyway, yesterday was a bust. I told the boys, I have two sons, 8 and 6, that we would go this morning. Supposed to be sunny and warm. Wel...

Hawkeye, Thanks for the advice. I will check that. I like he look of the stock and would hate to ruin it.

Giterdon, thanks for the reply, I was thinking around 300 yards would be my furthest for now anyway. I have a 6mm, also if the need for longer shots presented. The guy who farms these farms really wants them gone. They are causing much problems. The reason I chose a 204 to begin with was for the sma...

What would you folks say is the maximum distance for the 204 on Eastern Ground hogs. As big as 9- 10 pounds. I realize shooting long distance takes practice etc. but all things being equal how far would you say the maximum range would be. I shoot the 35 grain bergers. Would 400 yards be on the long ...

Thanks. I am being swayed to the 9-13". I was just on the Harris web site. They talk about different mounting screws for different stocks. I am using the Savage VPL with the wood laminate stock. Will it mount right to it or do I have to by an accessory?

I know there have been posts on this in the past but I was unable to find the answers I was looking for. I am new at the varmint hunting, been hunting other critters all my life but the short to medium range varminting is new. Kinda cool too :lol: Anyway, I am looking for a bipod and will be getting...

Welcome to the 204um. As I am sure you are aware every rifle will make it's own choice as to the load it prefers. I am shooting a stock Savage VLP using 26. Grains of Benchmark and 35 Grain Bergers. This is my most accurate load. I can stay in the .4s and have the occasional .3 and .2 groups. I had ...

Below I pasted video on how to free float the stock. I have found in the past that a piece of sandpaper around a dowel has worked well. I am not sure what you mean when you said it is not so much a free floating situation". I would guess you are saying the barrel is still making contact with th...
