Bartlein barrel, 1-11 twist, 26 inch. Jewell trigger 3-6 oz. A quality trued & blueprinted action, I like Remington 700. McMillan stock. The scope as suits your fancy. JD

As to the original question, I believe a custom build, bolt rifle would tend to be the most accurate way to go. And I do think it depends on how much money, and time you are willing to throw into your project. :eek: For some of us, we don't have unlimited funds for such an endeavor. For myself, personally, a manufactured rifle, with good accuracy potential, that I can work with, would be on my list. If I can get said rifle to shoot sub half in. MOS ( Minute of Skippy) I am a happy shooting enthusiast! Best of luck in whatever you decide :chin: . Keep us posted, and remember we all love "Gun Porn" :mrgreen:

You know, the .204 Ruger has a lot of potential in the accuracy department. I wish everyone would signup for the Challenge. I would love to see what these rifles are really capable of. I amazed myself and my son one day a while back. Almost unbelievable group. I had such a nice group going I started shaking when it came time to pull the trigger the fifth time. I still have that target hanging over my bench. I don't believe it either. I never shoot that good in front of witnesses. Ever. So was my group a fluke or is it possible to repeat? I may never be able to duplicate the same conditions again.

.204 Ruger Guns: Tikka T3 Varmint Stainless

I shoot the 204 in a T3 Varmint Stainless, and I've shot phenomenal groups, normally the rifle shoots in the 1/2 moa range but if I really take my time it's possible for me to do even better, this is one of my better groups, 5 shots at 100 yards, bone stock rifle 6-18x50 scope shot off bags. Also the group is with factory 32grain V-Max ammunition, I plan to start reloading for it this summer. http://i.imgur.com/uO8SB59.jpg
