I bought a Savage Trophy XP combo in the 204 and in a 243. I had issues with the 243 and the Nikon scope that came on it. I had the scope swapped out to another package Nikon and still had issues. I have since purchased a Vortex scope and replaced the Nikon. I have not had time to put a bunch of rounds through it, but it seems to have helped.
I haven't had a chance to put alot of rounds downrange with the 204 yet either, But with the Hornady 32 grain Vmaxes, accuracy was around an inch, which was not as good as I had hoped for, but still acceptable for a factory round and rifle.
I believe I need to get more rounds fired out of both of these before making final judgement. I have owned and still own several other Savage rifles, and have been extremely happy with the accuracy of all of them except these 2 particular rifles.
