I see a lot of rifles that are being used to shoot the .204 Ruger round. But, most of them are not Ruger made. Why are there not more RUGER rifles being used?

Who knows what goes on in the marketing department of Ruger Arms.They co-deveoped the 204 with Hornady,and they don' chamber their#1 varmit model for that cartridge . I was lucky enough to find a NIB SS one a couple months ago.

I purchased a .204 Ruger Ruger Target-Varmint model when they first came out. It was a very accurate out of the box rifle . My brother and son in law have also gotten the same modle . Over the years I have tryed out various brands of rifles and cartridges. The .204 Ruger is the best prairie dog rifle I have used.

My first .204 was a Ruger and it is my most accurate of the 3. I bought it used from a member here about 3 years ago. My Dtech AR's are very close to it but not better.

Just like Joe O, I recently bought the Ruger 1V in SS .204. Had the trigger changed out right away as they have notorious tough triggers ( I have owned 3 ). Unlike some reports I have seen this thing shoots bug holes. Very consistant groups and right now is pushing my LRPV in accuracy but the trigger is still a little rough. Can't get it down lower than 2 1/2# and I much prefer about 1#. My loads are much better than factory in this rifle and I'm very glad I added it to my arsenal.
