Charger Fun!

Prof Young · March 15, 2024, 05:54 PM

So, to appease my desire for yet another 22, and after asking advice on this forum, I picked up a first generation Ruger Charger. Mounted a scope on it and took it to the range yesterday. Using the built in tripod, and shooting Aguila, I got one inch groups at ten yards and about 1.5 inch groups at 20. I shot about 70 rounds and did not have any kind of malfunction. But the best part is that this thing is just fun to shoot. Can't wait to take it to the field and shoot some reactive targets.

It doesn't have a butt stock? What's its overall length? It needs to be over 26", does it not?

PS. It is a pistol, so it is kosher.

I dold you, Prof. Young! Now, for more fun, drop a Franklin binary trigger into it and, if it's threaded, put a suppressor on it!

Also, get some better ammo than that Aguila....my Charger isn't as accurate as a good 22 rifle at distance, but you should be able to get better than 1.5" on a tripod at 15 yards!

Put a KIDD barrel on it and your accuracy will really improve!

What is a KIDD?

Thanks.
