[QUOTE="VarmintGuy, post: 242304, member: 10334"] Sniperboy: I have 5 (five) Varmint Rifles in caliber 204 Ruger - 2 Remingtons and 3 Rugers - note, NO savages! savages are clunky, cheap, awkward, ugly, poorly balanced and primitive arms - some of them do indeed shoot well but life is to short to shoot a clunky, cheap, awkward, ugly, un-balanced and primitive Rifle! PERIOD! For instance my Remington XR-100 in caliber 204 Ruger is exceptionally accurate, well made, well balanced and not a clunky feature to be found! The resale value of used Remingtons simply HUMBLES the percentage of cost that a Rifleman can recoup should they decide to "invest" in a savage! Go with either Remington, Cooper or Ruger. Don't even consider the savages. Among the dozens of reasons NOT to buy savage I will include this one - I recently used a HawkEye Borescope on a savage LB/RP single shot extra heavy barrel Varminter - it was a horrific sight! Now just because a Rifle has a rough bore does not automatically mean it will be in-accurate - but in this case it was indeed also in-accurate! savage is NOT the be all and end all in factory accuracy! The last 6 groupings (5 shot groups at 100 yards) I made with my Remington XR-100 in 204 Ruger caliber measured .322", .402", .374", .421", .439" and .326"! This is consistent and pleasing accuracy using Varmint quality bullets! I also have a Remington 700 VLS in caliber 204 Ruger - its last 3 groups (5 shots at 100 yards) measured .480", .398" and .330"! Pass on the savages. Best of luck with whichever 204 you choose. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy [/QUOTE]
