I have one. It does the trick on groundhogs for sure!!
Same day but a different location on the same farm. The farmer watched me hammer em both!!
I did put a Richards Micro-Fit T-hole stock on mine. Maple with rosewood cap & tip. It helped load development tremendously by stabilizing the rifle on the front bag much better. I had the trigger set from a couple tons down to 2 1/2lbs & added a 6-18 VXII to the mix. It likes the 32gr V-Max very very much but not the 40's. Your rifle may like the 40's. It enjoys the 40gr Bergers just as much as the 32's but the 39gr BlitzKings run 3/4" at 200yds.
That is my load of choice for everything except coyotes. I still have a few 40gr Bergers loaded & when they are gone it will be the 39gr BK's til death do us part!!

I bought an ADL .204. I just replaced the laminated stock and switched scopes. Currently wears a HS stock and an Leupold 3.5-10 LR/T w/md.
I have around $700 into the gun and optics.
Only ammo I've tried was 34gr Dogtown bullets. Shoots 3/4-1" consistent. Not a bench gun by any means. I occasionally get 1/2" group here and there. I'm trying to decide to keep it a .204 or get her rebarrel in .17 rem and build a .204 upper for the AR....
Here's what she's done...
PD out West
Currently what she looks like.

Thanks acloco!! And only $160!!
SuperSeal110-- I'm wondering why you switched stocks? I like that lam stock you had on there. If mine woulda came with that one I probably wouldn't have changed it. Just wondering.
Still a nice lookin rig either way!!

Thats not half bad accuracy for the 34 DT's. They're not noted for thier match quality accuracy.
They sure chewed up the younguns though.

Glen,
The laminated stock was heavy. I wasn't too crazy about the color, too. I have a couple guns with gray laminated stock and brown laminated stocks that I like. This laminated stock wasn't my flavor.
jo191145, I've read a lot of reviews on Midwayusa saying people are getting great accuracy with them. I bought them because they were CHEAP and I needed a lot of PD out west.

Just curious SS110. I like that stock color myself. And I have a couple lams on rimfires & they certainly are heavy.
