Welcome to the Forum blackblue!! Nice lookin rig you got there!! The nice thing about a 204 is that you won't be wearing your handle on your shoulder from it!!

Very nice.
Hats off to Savage for the paint scheme. Your rifle looks like a scope floating in the air.....with the air being supported by the bipod.

I handled some of those a couple of months ago, and I was surprised at how lightweight they are, they handled a LOT better than the typical Savage rifles I'm used to (I have several 12s, so don't go getting all Pro Savage on me, I'm already a believer 
) I think it's a very good choice for what Savage is calling it, Predator hunting. If I weren't "heavy" into them already, it would definitely be on the "short list". Nice looking rifles.

Welcome Blackblue.. I have the same rifle and like it very much.Now I just need something to shoot at besides paper 
When cleaning, don't forget about the little drip on the underside of the barrel. Wipe off ASAP. I learned the hard way 
. It just took off the camo. The base color is still there. If you reload, You might want to try Benchmark with the 35 grain Bergers. Haven't had a Savage yet that didn't like that combo. And it's good for Predators too
