Great site. Just ordered a savage mod. 25 classic. Hopefully my results will be positive. I'll use this rifle mainly on varmits in my backyard, coyotes, digger squirrels, the foxes and coons that eat our chickens, and grey squirrels once in a while for the pot. Haven't figured out which scope to use yet. Preferably an American Made AO 3x9. I own a few rifles, 3 Brownings, 2 Savages, 1 Winchester & 2 Beeman air rifles. Also 2 Sigs, p228 & a mosquito.

mkane, welcome to the site. You'll love your new 204, but I wouldn't plan on eating any grey squirrels you shoot with it unless you make very careful head shots. I've got a bit of experience with the 204 and squirrels.

The 204 is quite capable of removing just the head of a squirrel also with proper shot placement :



Get the best glass you can afford for the new rifle. The caliber is good for 500 yards on small varmints, so choose wisely. Good luck.

I'll stick with the rimfires for the squirrels then!
