204 Ruger

[Allen Kitts]

Well I just purchased a beautiful little 204 Ruger in a CZ platform and am wondering what to put on it for a scope. I was hoping you gents could give me a few ideas. It appears that 1"rings are the norm as I could not find any 30mm to fit on it. I live in Montana so shots can be very long but I think most shots would be in the 200-300 yards range with the occasional one maybe a little longer. Just curious what you guys are using out there on your 204's. Thanks in advance for your posts.

1" scopes will serve you well. Deburr the edges of the scope rings, run a layer of thick clear packaging tape in the rings so they will not "eat up" the scope body. If you have the ability, Lap the rings.

40g V max is reported by a good friend to turn the internals of a coyote to jello, as the coyote pulls apart when the hide was ripped off during tube skinning.
