Sling for Ruger Charger
I just bought a 2008 model Ruger Charger 22 from a friend of mine who ordered a new Take Down model Charger. I love this pistol! I bought it with a BSA Red Dot sight and one regular mag and one 25-rd Butler Creek with the plastic lips. Another friend gave me two brand new Butler Creek 25 rounders with metal lips AND loaded with ammo! That's a real friend. He also gave me a new HC3R magazine that holds 45 rounds total and loads with stripper clips. It is a little bit complicated to load at first, but after a couple of tries, reading the instructions and watching the videos, I think I've got the hang of it. I removed the bipod and put a sling swivel on the gun. It only has one attachment for the sling and it is in the front of the gun. Someone told me they saw a sling with a loop around the pistol grip. I have yet to see anything on it and have been searching for a video or something on it. Any of you guys know what kind or brand of sling this might be? I really love this little gun. Haven't got it to the range for a thorough trial yet but I have a feeling I had better stock up on more .22 ammo...if I can find some.

You could do this off your scope base:
or the better oprion IMHO would be to put a stud on and do a single point like this: You would have to put the rear stud on, but it looks like there is enough wood there. |

They get in the way on that sort of handgun
I'd just add swivels as needed

It does look cool !!!
Okay; Another stupid question but what is the reason for slinging? If it's for shooting from the bench, there is a better way to hold these little guys. If it's for carrying in the field, then a single-point is fine but I found that I did not trust the muzzle swing when I carried mine that way. The sling was attached to the bottom of the Harris. Eventually, I just carried it in my strong-side hand. ....
Be Safe !!!

Bracing against a sling really helps in field positions.
I'd never attach a single point system to a scope mount though

I think Ruger missed the boat by not adding a rear sling stud. It adds several dimensions of usefulness that I find handy. Single point rear attachment allows the shooter to brace the gun with the neck for a stable hold with your forearms extended. It also aids in carrying by keeping the muzzle pointed to the ground when using a single loop sling.
When using a two point swivel sling it aids in keeping the gun close to the body, either in the front, side, or on the chest. I prefer mounting the stud on the left side of the stock rather than in the center/rear. This allows the bolt lever on the action toward the outside of clothing rather than get snagged or caught. It also allows the ability to quickly cock a round into the chamber if you choose to keep the gun unloaded when carrying. I went with Uncle Mikes screw in style studs, recessing the washer just a little with an end mill. |
