New Rifle For Missus. Calibre?

[Jack V]

Things may have changed over the years but there was a time when you could buy a case of 223 or 308 from rural supply places cheaper than a gunshop .
What ever you buy the main this is how well the gun shoots . I would not sell a very accurate 204 to keep an inaccurate 223 and visa versa .

Yes your right but if a company stops pushing their product then over time it can fade away . It's popularity starts to wane and sooner or later other gun manufactures drop the chambering just like about 6 other cartridges I could name . In the interim what happens is the ammo gets more expensive .
In my time I have seen 6mm Rem, 250 savage , 300 savage , 22/ 303 25/303 , 7.7 x54 , 222 magnum , 221 fireball , 222 rem , 222 rimed , 220 swift , 7.61 S&H , 308 Norma magnum all but disappear from mainstream new guns that we get here . So it can happen to the 204 but I agree that it would take some time and being based on the 222 Magnum case it may stay around a lot longer than some of the others did .

Ummmmm that's 13 Jack not 6

I am thinking we will be getting it in browning xbolt eclipse varmint, do any of you have any experience with these rifles?

Love the X-bolt.

Have mine in .270 and shot a few varmint builds with the mates. All good shooters and good rifles.
