I've got a few AR15s in .223/5.56 but I'm looking to build/buy an AR in .204 Ruger. Can you all post some pics of your predator hunting ARs so I can see what I may like/dislike? Thanks!

Buy some quality 50 grain bullets or ammo and just use your 5.56mm. .223 is very capable when it comes to killing varmints.

This. You just need the right ammo, like 50 grain soft point or so. Something accurate and not bulk FMJ stuff. Try your existing rifle with light, faster hunting ammo. If it shoots close to MOA, even 2 MOA will be fine inside 200 yards. Most predators can be called in well inside that. You're shooting predators at 100, not prairie dogs at 400.

53 grain v-max shoots great out of all my 5.56 rifles including my 2 with 1/7 twist .
