My new 17-204 just came in

Hadn't decided how I will checker it yet. I did do this with the grip cap.

Originally this rifle was going to get a deep dark bluing, with a CM barrel. But things changed.

Rifle ended up weighing 8 1/2 pounds scoped. So that is fine with me.

I seem to remember another member here with spiral flutes on a tan cerakoted barrel. Incredibly sweet. And this is in 17-204. If I was setting up a dream rig I don't know that I would do a single thing different.

Very sharp. A good friend I hunt with shoots that caliber with great results. Very fur friendly.

I picked up enough 30gr bullets to outlast the barrel, so I won't have to use any of my 25 gr Berger Match bullets. Besides it was built to just shoot the 30's.

That is nice, a real work of art. Great job.

That is WAY too nice to take out in the woods!!!! Sweet!!

Do you use a 204 fl sizing die and a 17 rem neck sizing die for that or what exactly?

Most use Redding type S 204 Ruger neck bushing dies. I use a .17 fireball die to seat and my buddy uses my 204 Ruger die to seat.

Good Lord, thats a pretty chunk of wood....and of course a really pretty rifle.

After all these years tell us how it has shot for you.....

 

[Coyotejunki]

30 gr Kinder golds @ 100 yds

Huntschool, I tried to sell it a while back, but shot it again and decided to keep it. The 30gr bullets at 4000+ fps are really something else.
