I finally was able to take my TC Encore with a 19 inch 17 HMR Bullberry out to our 300 yard range. The weather was perfect and when I got there hardly any wind. I am by no means a good shot and just try to get out there to have some fun. The "gopher" was shot at 200 yards. The one with two...

Does anyone know the size of the dot? I tried searching on Leupold's website but couldn't find it.

Would this work for hunting ground squirrels?

Sounds like a great buy, Congratulations.

Out of curiosity, What kind of accuracy would one expect out of a .204 Ruger No1?

I'm not sure on accuracy. Hopefully, it'll be a shooter. Maybe we can hear from owners of #1's.

California is crazy with gun laws. 10 day wait on everything including C&R guns if you buy from a dealer. Only 1 handgun every 30 days. Bullet buttons on all "evil" guns. 10 round mag limit on all guns including .22"s. I hate it out here. Other than the stupid gun laws, high taxes...

Thanks Rick! Much appreciated.

I'll post pics as soon as she's released from jail.

Rick,

Alex did mention the issue about extraction issues. What length do you load to with 32 grn V-max?

On reloading, do you use a FL die, then a neck die and then a seating die?

Thanks!

I just got lucky and was at the right place at the right time. I wouldn't have bought it at full price but when the sales guy said $679 I just couldn't help myself. Is that #1, a K1V ?? I have one and it's a blast.Ruger doesn't offer the SS varmint model in 204.any longer, (WHY?).So if it is the he...

But I can't. My pickup date for the #1 is on 2/10! oh boy I'm gonna really be in trouble.

Thanks Rick. I bought it on Gunbroker. I was overseas on business and kept watching it. There were a couple of bids but it didn't reach the sellers reserve price. I told myself that if it was still there when I got home, I'd bid on it. But at the airport waiting for a return flight I just said to he...

Thanks Rick! That's the exact scope info I was looking for. My 38 is shipping with a Leupold base. Is yours Talley? Would that make a difference in regards to ring height? I'm thinking of getting a Weaver 6.5-20x40 for the #1 because the shop I'm getting the rifle from is selling that scope for 30% ...

Yeah I'm getting real good at hiding these purchases. Honestly I was just trying to get some primers. Really...

Hi new to the forum. Just posted about buying a new Cooper M38 in 20VT in the Centerfire section. I went to the local gun store at lunch looking for primers to reload for the 20VT and I see a Ruger #1V in 204. I've always like the #1's so I asked to see it. The salesman hands it to me an then checks...

Hi Ramos,

Yes I am in Sacramento. I've never seen the shelves so bare before! I can't even get .22's at a decent price.

I'm going to have to really ration the HSM rounds until I can get some primers.

Nice! Is that a AE or AW?

I placed an order for a AE MKIII nine months ago and still waiting. Hopefully it'll come in soon.
