I noticed that one of your hunting partners had a rem. 700 thumbhole .204. I have the same rifle and I LOVE mine, it shoots fandiddletastic for a factory rifle. Just wondered how his performed.

I am going CRAZY waiting for some good weather for a long weekend to shoot up some sagys. We have been ready for about a month and the only good weather was easter, And we couldnt make it I am hoping next weekend.
I will miss the first few with itchy trigger finger its turned to a rash by now. Good shooting this season mabey will see you over in the the Oregon desert.

maj: CaptQC, Gary that is, loves his, and boy does that puppy shoot! After barrel break-in and sight-in at the range, the first three shots in the field launched three sage rats! He was stoked to say the least.

If I was to buy another 204 any time soon (and I will), it WILL be one of these rifles . Sweet in every way, and it appears Remmy has their barrel issues laid to rest, as Gary's is smooth inside, and a real shooter. Love those vents on the forearm too, ditto for the new trigger.

Note the grin on Gary's face....go figure. :lol:

As long as we're talking about CaptQC, check out his cool "Alternate Close-In Weapon Mount" for those pesky rodents that sneak in just out of pistol range....easy to get at, and not harmful to a nice Winchester 94/22 Mag or Henery 17HMR:

Gary is the developer of the very cool "Wind-O-Matic" device, shown elsewhere. I love techno-guys with imagination! :lol:

Weather: Yeah, it's always an issue at this time of year. Nice during the week, then turns to crap just in time for the weekend. I think Skippy has some kind of blackmail on the 'Weather-Talkers'..... :wink:

Hey Rick-

Is it a safe bet that Garth hooked you guys up with those cool 100 Year Anniversary Leupold hats? Any chance you know where a guy could buy one? I stopped by their headquarters in Beaverton when I as out there last week and got a copy of the book that celebrates their 100 year anniversary - it's pretty interesting reading if you are a Leupold fan (I wish some of the owners of manufacturing companies back in Michigan would have read it a few years ago, maybe we wouldn't have the worst economy in the country if they did!). Didn't know they had the hats or I would have tried to pick up one of those as well.

Maj: I love my new Remmy! :lol: Shoots like a house on fire :eek:

Hawkeye: Nope, on Tuesday night I'm in Bible Study (no really), anyway I wouldn't want to damage my bench by shooting the rifle from it's mount!

Captqc-What type of rest is that? It looks light yet very stable.

SW, it's by Shooters Ridge, model #40874. Cost less than $50 including the leather bag, nothing fancy but it works fine for me. The feet are Superfeet from Sinclair (also available from Rick's site at http://www.Varmintmasters.net) for $20. Gary
