cmidkiff, Welcome. You are going to love the .204. Great varmint round and a pretty good paper cartridge also.

Just found this sight. I'm an avid predator hunter and all-around gun nut.
This past year I put together a 25-204 wildcat. I it turned out to be a very nice dual purpose rig, deer and coyotes.

Hi, my name is Fred.

I live in central Idaho (grew up in Oregon). Till three years ago I lived in Nampa, Idaho but when I retired I moved to my present home. Lots of hunting and fishing here. I started hunting as young boy around my parents farm at Lakeview, Oregon.

I currently do not own a .204, but recently aquired a TC ProHunter muzzleloader and my next purchase will be a .204 28" barrel for it. I found this site when I was researching the 204 Ruger. I am now convinced that I need to get one.

I have been a predator/varmit hunter off and on since my college days. I am a dedicated deer hunter and love to chase those Idaho whitetails around every Fall. I also like to steelhead fish in the off season. I have hunted all over the NW but mainly here in Idaho. OH, I almost forgot, I really get a kick out of turkey hunting in the Spring.

I like to reload, but am far from an expert. I currently own several rifles & shotguns mainly bolt actions and semi autos. Calibers go from a 22-250 on the small side to a 338 Win mag on the big side.

I enjoy reading everyone's posts and will be visiting this site on a regular basis.

Thanks for letting me introduce myself!

Greetings from New York. I am a 38 year old male. I have not hunted all of my life, I have allways loved the outdoors. About 9 years ago, I took my first hunter saftey course in Connecticut while I lived there for a short time. I purchased my first shotgun that year and have slowly persued hunting and shooting since that time.
I have not hunted as much as I would like. Nevertheless, I have bow and rifle hunted Whitetail deer. Also I have hunted turkey and pheasant/chukar. I even attempted to hunt squirrel.

Presently, I have just purchased my first 204. Ruger. It's an AR-15 heavy barrel 24" version. I would really like to use it to harvest some coyotes.

I am grateful to have a bunch of 204. Ruger info at my fingertips.
Thank you for this informative forum.

Hello to all fellow hunters on 204Ruger.com.

Live in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales with a young family and work in the Goulburn area as a construction engineer. I regularly hunt on a number of local properties, annually on western NSW properties and occasionally get down to Victoria hunting the mighty Sambar deer once a year too.

I'm currently gathering information on the 204 with a view to purchase a new varminter to replace my 223 sporter. From what I've read so far, the 204 is a very impressive small game round.

Welcome, Drew. You will like it here. Good people and a lot of info.

To all the new folks here that I missed>> WELCOME!!!!!!!!!

I've been shooting varmint guns for most of my life. My 4 or 5 days a year I get to be in Montana shooting prairie dogs is a part of heaven to me. I try to get out and call coyotes whenever posible, but time just slips away sometimes.
I'v been reading the 204 forum for just a short time..just bought my 204 CZ varminter a month ago; and have only got 20 rounds down the barrel.
I'm impressed with the gun and the acurracy of the gun, but was a little disappointed when I only got 3925 fps out of the Hornady factory 32 gr ammo. I have hand loads waiting to be shot, but it has just been bitterly cold and blowing here lately..just waitng for spring...
This is a great forum here; I have already printed up all the load data that is posted. I've hung around over at Go Go Varmint Go for a long time , but don't post alot. also hang aroud Saubier.com. I look forward to reading and learning more on the 204 in the future.

Steve V, Welcome.

Don't stop now four boys your doing good keep going you will thank your self in your old age. This is one of the easiest forums to use I love the format. I also love the 204 if thats OK. Lord for give me! but the 204 is one nice shooting round. I am ah havenfun.

My name is Bob Faucett and I live in a small town in Idaho called Peck. I retired four years ago and now spend my time in my workshop and hunting and fishing.

Last fall I bought a CZ Varmit in 204 Ruger to replace my old Ruger #1 243 that my grand daughter decided was hers.

I've kinda lurked here and watched what you guys were doing. I also borrowed some of you folks knowledge in setting up and loading for the new
204.

This looks like a nice place to learn some new things.

This is what I'm shooting.

Welcome to the Forum Bob!!

I like those CZ Varmints!!

Hi All, My name is Gary Cook and I live in Tigard, Oregon. Last year was my rookie year for varmints and now I'm in hook-line-and sinker (I know wrong sport, but you get the idea). I guess you could say that this is all the fault of my son and member "Rick in Oregon" but seeing how I'm fifty years old I guess I should accept responsibility for my addiction. I shoot a Remington 700 VLS in .204 for the long range shots, an Ruger 77/17 HMR for mid-range, a Henry lever action 17 HMR when I wonder away from my shooting bench and a Ruger Mark III Hunter for when the little buggers charge my position and get inside the wire!
Anyway, great site, glad to be here.
Regards, Gary
