I bought a BVLP in .204 Ruger about six months ago for lest than 5C but couldn't get it on paper at 50 yards. Sent it back to the factory and they put a new barrel on it and got it back to me in less than 4 weeks (to late for my trip to SD) but now I can shoot 3 shots in .261. I still consider it a good deal. The only thing I don't like about it is you need to load the rounds in the magazine before it will feed into the barrel. Another thing... it would jam the bullet when it started up the ramp from the magazine... hollow points were about 100% jam. I had to polish the feed ramp to mirror finish to fix the problem but now there is no problem.
