I just got in trade a savage model 11 chambered in ruger 204.... I had never even heard of that round before, but the deal was there so I took it. got the rifle with a sling...a leupold scope and supposed to pick up some casings when I make delivery of the merchandise.... anyone have any insight as to the quality of the gun and effectiveness of the round? I am NOT a rifle guy and know zilch.

204 Ruger is a nice varmint cartridge. Pushes around 4,000fps at the muzzle, with energy in the 1200 ft-lbs range, typically 32 or 40gr bullets. Slightly better performance at longer ranges compared to the 22-250, it is a good coyote and prairie dog round. The Savage Model 11 is generally a decent rifle, there are several variations so it's hard to comment about what you have without knowing which one it is.

thanks... will try to get up some pics. coyotes are THICK around me. I can hear em every night if I go out after dark. I think it would be fun to call em in.
