stovey, you sold the 20ga pump?!? You "pumped" that one up as one of your best gun that you would never part with. How quickly you turn!

Well, it's almost officially gone - Got a bid on my Ruger M77 MK II 204. Auction closes late tomorrow.

Wow, marty, that was the most accurate rifle in the world! Best wishes with your situation.

I actually have a friend with a 6mm bench rest rifle who edged me out when we shot together. But then he weigh-sorts and neck turns his brass, etc etc and I use factory Nosler custom brass, fire-formed and neck sized. Still, I didn't do too bad for a stock, unmodified rifle. He has a couple grand into his setup.

Always wanted to take this rifle to a bench rest match just to see if I could finish higher than last place, with a stock off-the-shelf rifle. Too far to travel and never quite had the time. Not sure that the .204 could hold its own vs 6mm if the wind was variable. I did give my friend a run for his money that day, though.
