Well Bill, as virtually every rimfire rifle Ruger builds has their patented rotary mag, and the fact that their 77/Hornet also employs it, I'll leave that answer to you.Bill K wrote:HUM Rick, will it be magazine feed or have a rotary ?![]()

Anyone who shoots the beldings on a regular basis, knows that when you spot them with your scope, its like they know you are looking at them, and they "Go Down".
Like a few other posters in the sage rat zone, I have been shooting them longer than I can remember, because of CRS, some 40 yrs or so. I also started with my trusty 10-22, that I still love shooting. Then the 17HMR when it first came out, then the venerable .223. I bought my .204 a couple yrs after that. And last year, my new most favorite rifle, a Cooper chambered in 20VT.
Bodei. That would be something.. And you are so right about that, the 20VT is really getting fully into the big picture.Bodei wrote:I think we are going to need a new category on this site just for 20 VT... Vartargitis is a very infectious disease, especially when compounded with Cooper rifles. I have a full infection. Looking for a cure. Maybe get some therapy this spring when we can start hitting some live Var-Targets!!

Can't wait til I get mine, still waiting on the barrel...Bodei wrote:Vartargitis is a very infectious disease...
Don't listen to this guy. It will lead to a lessening of your bank account and I have a appointment to see a doctor about this smile I can't seem to shake.

Nuthin' like havin' the "Cooper Curse".....meaning once you get one, you absolutely, positively, without question "NEED" another! "Scooter", my Cooper M38 20VT as she's affectionatly known, has accounted for untold countless sage rats (Beldings Ground Squirrels), and a truckload of rock chucks.
If you like the 204R, and feel you "need" a companion rifle/caliber, look no farther than the 20VT. The marriage of rifle and caliber seems to have been made in "varmint heaven". For work inside 500 yards, it's the most fun little caliber I've ever had the pleasure of owning......and I own a bunch.
Now we've got winter staring at us....maybe some coyotes for fun, but like you guys, I'm just itchin' to get back out after Skippy and his pals with both my 204R's and 20VT (the two current love affairs). Little do these young rats know, that their flying lessons are about to begin....
Not really, these little guys were close to our ranch house, so they've been declared "breeding stock", but ALL their relatives are in for some deep doo-doo in a few more months! Come on SPRING!
Oh, and having a forum heading dedicated to the "other" .20 caliber would not hurt my feelings one iota.......
Brian.....whatcha think?
Thanks, smiles are good......just consider me your "Small Caliber Purchasing Mentor"......always here to help.32dgrz wrote:[Don't listen to this guy. It will lead to a lessening of your bank account and I have a appointment to see a doctor about this smile I can't seem to shake. LOL
All kidding aside this is my new favorite small caliber round thanks for the advise

Bodei: I agree with the first part....especially since my middle name is actually "Cooper".....Bodei wrote:Rick should get a commission from every Cooper 20 VT sold. Sometime this winter I expect to get my .17 HH and my squirrel arsenal should be "complete" (at least for 2013).
