204Ruger

Been looking into an Ar-15 platform in .204 ruger, and came across this website. Before these I had been looking at the DPMS Lr-204, but have concentrated more on these due to the 1/2" accuracy gurantee.

Does anyone here own one, or have experience with them? I was thinking of the Thumbhole LR, or the Super Match.

Thanks a bunch.

I always wanted a AR15,but the accuracy kept me away.A good friend (SGT MAJ ) Has several .223's and 9mm in military drag. They shoot 1-3 inch groups at 100 yards.I must add that he shoots standard military ammo not handloads.If they guarantee 1/2" MOA @100, maybe 1"MOA @200 is possible with the Accuracy Systems rifle. That aint bad.I'm sold

An AR can shoot with most boltguns, if they have the ammo they like, and a freefloated barrel (tubular handguard) up front. My buddy's Rock River Varminter will shoot 1/2" groups with AA2230-C and 52 Sierras, a load I came up with, for MY boltguns. I simply took my ammo and his rifle, and shot some groups with it, it was an eye-opener, for me. I didn't think they could shoot THAT well, but his does.
I don't like chasing brass, though, so I haven't worked up a desire for one, no matter how well they shoot. That, and that I worked in my company's arms room for awhile, when I was in the Army. Keeping 160 M16A1s and M203s in operating order is a headache, especially when the 16s were worn out from a fracas in SE Asia.

I was recently talking to a man that lives in Co. and he has a Acc. Systems AR in .204 that he wanted to sell. It had about 80 rds through it. If you are interested send me a PM and I will get you in touch with him. It was a 24 in. fluted with the Badger full floated hand guard. His price was very reasonable. I decided to go with a Dtech instead.

Mrpillow, I have the DPMS LR-204 and I love it. I havent been super impressed with the groups yet but really havent settled down and tried. Its my 1st semi-auto rifle so Im still having too much fun just "lettin fly" at bunnys. I just yesterday bought the reloading dies.I can understand going with somebody that has an accuracy guarantee, I was surprised that DPMS makes no guarantee at all. And Glenn Asher nailed it. chasing brass in 2" of snow in the desert just SUX. If anybody is wondrin what to get me for Xmas, need a brass catcher!
