Long time shooter of the 204. I now own a cooper and have a fixed 12 power leupold on it. plan on shooting out a distance then I prefer to see the exact point im shooting at. I started out with a bushnell 5x15x40. Ithink? then moved up to a leupold 4-14 VX-L 50.
I realized that I didnt need to change magnification so went with the fixed. Even at 10 yards if your view is full of fur your gonna hit it. The illusion that your steadier with a 9 power in my opinion is false. Your always gonna move. with a 12 or more if you can get it steady you going to hit it. My Brother uses a VX-L 6-20x 56 on his weatherby. I have video evidence 555 yards off a Bale. Love the 204.
Good luck yote hunting I love it. Sometimes they hold up a long way off. Dont always come charging in.
**** I have 2 weeks of work left and now i'm all jacked up to call some dogs.
