Hi all.

with ref to the above does anyone know of any dealers in the east midlands area with either of these rifles "off the shelf". Ive rang around a few but all are quoting feb/march 2010 dates.

204's cant be that bad surely? Probably end up going for a 223 although i suspect the wait may be just as long!

If i do go for a 223 what is the best fps i could expect from a homeload with a 40 or 45 grain?

hi there cant help you on what you asked,dont know if you got your rifle yet but one thing i will say is i would wait for a 204 i've got one myself it's a great round very fast,flat,accurate and not much recoil but one downside bullets are a bit on expensive side great fox gun tho

Have a look on Guntrader, there are a few of each on there.
