I have only used VGs on prairie dogs. I was not impressed with the accuracy nor the red mist effect. I have the best accuracy and red mist with 39 grain Sierra Blitzkings in my 204s. I tried 32 grain...

Ya gota love the 20 VarTarg! I love my 204s but the 20 VT is such a joy to shoot. You can see the hits and misses in the scope. It makes it fun to see the red mist and air time in the scope! So...

I love my 20 VarTarg. I do not believe that you will benefit from a barrel longer than 24 inches in this caliber. I have a 1:11 twist and it will shoot the 32 and 39 grain bullets great. I think the...
