Impressive. The best three shots looked touching, but overall the group was much bigger than 1/4", one shot hit the edge of the gong.
Good going, much better than I think I could do with my .223.

Theres always a knocker, first shot was testing the wind. I was shooting groups, if you notice therss no aiming mark on the gong, Im happy with it though I apologise I should have said 1/4moa

Not bad for a bog standard rifle other than a £15 spring!

I'm not knocking. Just couldn't get my head around 1/4" group at 400 yards. Thanks for clearing it up
Even hitting an 8" gong at 400 with a stock .204 is pretty impressive.
But how do you shoot a group without an aiming mark? Even an improvised one?

If I couldnt hit an 8" gong at 400 yds Id either sell the gun or get another hobby. Alot of work went into those rounds. Shooting groups without the aiming point is simple, just keep shooting at your first strike mark, mine in this case was off centre so I dialled for wind and restarted.
Too many overlook the 204 and go for 223 or 22-250 which in my mind aren't as veratile as the 204. I shoot everything from magpies to foxes with mine, Ive shoot foxes out to 330yds and they've dropped like a stone. I feel many go for the larger calibres for more knock down power and to compensate for poor bullet placement, but thats only my opinion.

So, you did have an aiming mark? The one you created.

No problem with the calibre, but your video didn't make much sense
I quite fancy another 204 for long distance rabbits and crows, however I cant convince myself that it'd be any better than my 223 with 40gn VMAX @ 3850ft/sec

204 with 39gr will perform better in the wind than a 223 with 40gr vmax, for reference im 3678fps
