Need help on picking out a Ruger 204 rifle

[triggerfingers]

I got a Nightforce scope to put on the Cooper that I got a screaming deal on. As far as hardcade I have used and always like pelican cases and Plano.

Congrats mine will show up tomm at my ffl. Mtv in .204. Still scope shopping but i think a leupold 6.5 x 20 x 40 w side focus. And maybe the cds dials. Im looking for suggestions for a hard case to transport in

I prefer the Plano "Air Glide" case. It stores the rifle vertically; held in place with foam blocks and secured with velcro strap. Reasonably priced and I find them at Dick's/Field and Stream.
Also, I have that Leupold scope with VH reticle, and mounted in low Talley Lightweight rings on my M21 .204. Works/looks great!

It is here!!!!! Picked it up this afternoon came home and immediately mounted the Nightforce Scope I got for it and these are some pictures. 24” barrel and the trigger is beyond what I requested.

What do you think?

That's a nice looking rifle!! I bet she shoots as well as she looks.

We will do break in on the rifle in the morning and find out.

Best target of the day with factory ammo. Hard to improve upon that for break in. Shot at 50 yards and 5 shot group. Will set up at 100 next time out.

Nice shooting

Ok.... went to the range this morning with a group of handloaded ammo to see which one the rifle likes best and shot at 100 yards. This was the best target of the day. 25.5 grains shooting a 3 shot group measuring .289 moa. So far ... LOVE the Cooper rifle!
