I have a 204 ruger and I was wanting to know what would be your opinion on it?
You have posted in the "small game" section but the 204 Ruger is not legal for small game in Georgia. It is legal for non-game species (coyote, hog, armadillos, etc.), foxes and bobcats. It's not legal for big game, deer, so IMHO unless you wanted a dedicated coyote rifle or paper puncher it has limited uses in Georgia.
You would probably get more responses in the "Varmint" or "firearms" sections.
What will 204 do that a 223 won't
shoot flatter and handle cross winds a lot better. if you go out west to shoot prairie dogs you'll see the difference as soon as you get out past 150 yards. someone mentioned crows and he's right mine is point and shoot out to about 275 yards. i'd feel more comfortable shooting a deer with the .204 than i would the .223 (but i wouldn't use either of them) because i could take a head shot at twice the distance and know i was going to hit it solid.
