Re: SAVAGE MARK11 BTVS .22LR

That would be highly unusual. My experience with Savage rimfires has been excellent accuracy. Did you use the same scope on both rifles? There must be some common item that produced the same problem twice. Changed the scope twice and no differnce .In the same time i had my problems with 2 rifles ,o...

Re: Hornady 45gr sp ?

Both my Savage and my AR handle them pretty well... Nothing I would brag about in the realm of precision, but for a hunting round, I wouldn't have a problem using them on a Coyote or Bobcat... While I've heard of some dropping deer with a .204, That's a little "iffy" from my perspective a...

Re: REMEY VLS .204

The rounds are a lot cheaper in the uk ! .Hoping to do some shooting on wild goats over here this winter .Should be hard hitting enought when i read that lads are shooting deer at times with the .204.

Re: REMEY VLS .204

Hi Ken ,seems its harder for you in the uk to find .204 ammo .Yea the VLS is a heavy rifle .How much are you paying for a box of ammo ?About 25euro for a box of hornady 32gr .Thats a big jump when a box of .223 starts at around 10 euro.Have you shoot anything bigger than a fox with your .204 yet ?

Re: REMEY VLS .204

It is very clear from reading the replays that the 39gr is going to be my best round .Thanks for that lads.The VLS has some work done to it already .But if i were to get it bedded would it help much ?

Re: REMEY VLS .204

The sako 75 is an amazing looking rifle .My one is the exact model of your sako .Sorry to say, but my new remmy vls .204 is just not as nice to look at or handle .That said its nearlly half the price of the 75 . So 39gr is my best bet .Cant wait to try some long shooting with this new .204 .If the ....

Re: REMEY VLS .204

Thanks lads ,good info on bullet size .The .204 never really took off here, so not much information . :wall: .Have a sako75 in .223 also, but would really like the .204 to work out better . Looks a flatter hunting round :) .If the 39gr bullet works out ,just how good is it at 300+ yards ?We cant leg...
