Lots of good choices, for 640 and less
The CZ varmint in .204 is nice.

I have a TC Thompson Dimension in .204 that is built well, better bolt than my $1,200 ruger gunsite.

Depends on how rapid you will be shooting it. If doing alot or rounds you might want to get a bull barrel version. Mine heats up after like 8 shots. So for PD hunts where you will be shooting more often consider the harder to carry thicker barrel versions.
Or for a few dollars more or a fist full of dollars you can get the Sako .204

I really like that Sako.

Re: Rifle advice!
It is sweet until you put hundreds of rounds through it, then it starts to creep down to 8 oz, then 4 oz, then 1 oz. You better have your Loc-Tite handy. Great rifles, otherwise, and you can always shoot it without setting. But I learned the hard way about how they creep down.

Re: Rifle advice!
I would go with a cooper model 21 mine shoots as low as 1/16 .069 groups ( measured by a bench rest scorer at a match )with 39 gr Sierra Blitzking bullets and 6.5-20 VX3 and cooper will re-barrel for 125.00 when it needs to be replaced to the original purchaser

How many rounds did you have through it when you started having this issue?204Luver wrote: ↑Sun Oct 28, 2018 10:23 pm It is sweet until you put hundreds of rounds through it, then it starts to creep down to 8 oz, then 4 oz, then 1 oz.

CZ 527 Varmint. With the select trigger mine breaks at 4 OZ and without using the select it breaks a little over 3#.
