Same here. All four of my 204R rifles give their best performance (velocity and accuracy) using RL-10X over all others. YMMV

Here's a factory rifle for you!
I call him Stumpy, he has a 15" threaded barrel and a muzzle break that brings the OAL to 17"

I only wish the barrel were thinner as that small deficit created by the 20 caliber bore leaves a lot of weight.

Looks like a decent set up for a walk about rifle. Should not be that heavy with the sling. How does it group with your loads, etc. ? :)
