Thanks for the replies, I've went for this cal as I intend to use it on corvids at longer ranges than my rimfire would be capable of, I've considered the 17 hmr and 17 rem but it gets very windy on my patch and I feel the 204 covers both of these problems as it doesn't be as affected as much as the 17's. It will also be used on the odd fox at sensible ranges, a 222 or 223 in my view would be overkill 'excuse the pun' for my job. Maybe I'm wrong anyone like to point me in the right direction, ammo can be sourced locally as this cal seems to be gaining abit of popularity!
