hey all new to this forum, have been a keen shooter for around 5 years now and have had a 204 for a few years now, im mostly just a recreation shooter trying to control the local varmint population and have done a small amount of profesional roo shooting, I also shoot f-class with my 308. Anyway so i decided to give my 204 a makeover, it started out as a run of the mill light barreled stainless howa in a hougue stock with a nikko stirling 4.5-14 nighteater, after a few years of not being entirely happy with its accuracy (rarely under 1" groups) decided to do somthing about it so i carried out the following modifications..
-MAB/Tse heavy varmint contour barrel (made locally in brisbane Australia) in 1 in 10" twist in .204 ruger of course!
-Wild Dog heavy varmint varminter stock (also made in brisbane Australia)
-Timney Trigger.
-Leupold VX-3 6.5-20*40 LR with varmint hunter retacle.
-Leupold QRW 30mm low rings.
Shoots incredibly well now with 39BK still working on the 40Vmax, went strat into the .3"s with no load development! heres a few pics....Enjoy
I'm interested in your load data, I have a 1:10 barrel also.
