I have owned two .204s and would like your help in choosing another. I had a gorgeous Ruger #1 .204. It shot good to very good, but not fantastic. It was probably the most beautiful rifle I've ever owned. I got an offer I couldn't refuse from a friend so I sold it. I also have a Kimber 84M with walnut stock. It is the best center fire varmint rifle I own (followed closely by two .223s). I've killed many 100s of prairie dogs with it. Why you might ask do I want another one? Why do we gun guys ever want another rifle? Just because! Actually, I do want to try another scope, as scopes have become almost as important to me as the rifle. When you spend hours looking for prairie dogs thru a scope, you need a really good one. Anyway, I'll appreciate any help you can provide. My budget would prefer under $2,000. Thanks for your help.
