204 R

[LittleJoe]

Is there anyone out there that has ACTUAL experience with the H&R 204 R. barrel .  Yes, I know there are those of you out there, that my not have ever seen one of these barrel, but will feel need to give their opinion on them. I am just looking for ACTUAL EXPERIENCE.

If that means 204 Ruger then I've read there are some people that have & had them. If you can get the search thing to work for you I think you can go back and find some. I have trouble with it but I'm challenged   Good Luck

Lots on the 204 Ruger Handi,  I was one of the first here to have one in hand when it was first available in 2004, it was one of the first extractor barrels they made, it's available in a 22" bull barrel and was available in 24" Fluted bull barrel, but that was discontinued. Go the the search, then choose advanced search, enter search for word 204 ruger, uncheck "check all", then hit "choose a board to search in or search all" which shows all GBO forums, just check the H&R Centerfire Rifle forum and hit search at the bottom. You can use the message ago fields to refine the search. If that's too complicated, just google it using keywords 204 ruger Handi GBO, then select More results from gboreloaded.com »

While I haven't shot mine much, it did shoot the 40gr Vmax w/BLC2 real good, not as good as Mitchell's who uses the same load.

i have the fluted barrel with the varmiter stock, best loads with mine are h4198 with the 26 gr barnes varmint grenade, only issue is wind really drifts this caliber over 200 yards reminds of my 17 still trying to find that 32 gr bullet powder combination, the gun will shoot though

Mine shoots the 32 gr.hornady just fine over BLC2.The 40 gr keyhole on me.Love the cartridge.It and my two 17 rimfires.HMR and the 17 M2.Just about all you need in a dog town.Dave

I've got 2 of them and the shoot great. even the one that had to be shimmed everywhere to get it to fit someone had tinkered a bit, but after getting it to fit ti is a good shooter. the other was a trade deal that came together and it shoots great with no tinkering needed
