I am looking at getting a 204 for var its don't know what make... I am also wondering if I should invest in a 7mm since I have a 270 win but I am confident with just wondering if I need more punch.???

7mm and a .270 aren't far enough apart. Get something 30 cal.

A big .30 cal. Fun stuff. mtmuley

I say buy. What are you hunting that you wonder if you need more punch?

 

[JWhunter]

Elk... Bulls in particular

 

[mtmuley]

Bulls ain't any tougher than a big cow. mtmuley

And you can kill a big cow with a .270 just fine....

What makes and models would you advise in the 204

 

[fishing4sanity]

There are two inviolate rules in life; you can't have too many guns and you can't have too much taxidermy. Get both rifles, if you're looking for suggestions, consider the .204 in a Savage Weather Warrior and a Sako Finnlight 7 or 300 WSM, but then again there are lots of good guns out there.

Rem or Savage are tough to beat if you want accuacy. Howa makes an accurate rifle too, but I don't know if they chamber a .204.

 

[mtmuley]

If a bigger budget is available, I'd seriously take a look at Cooper. mtmuley

Buy a secondhand sako L461 in the heavy barrel varmint model and rebarrel it to 204 and then look for a secondhand Sako 75 in .300wsm in the S/S. with the fully adjustable trigger down to 2lb and a fluted barrel of 24 3/8in it is a perfect set up for all round use. The quality and accuracy of those pre 85 Sako's is superb for a factory rifle.

 

[bjtc_brian]

I agree with belly-deep and mtmuley. Or go the way I have been lately and build your own off a savage action.

a 30 RUM springs to mind

Savage makes a fine 204, as far 7mm the .30's are great but consider moving up to the .338's. If you had a 204, 270, and 338 you can hunt it all and always have a back-up. Just my 2¢.....
