Now this is one sweet looking .22.

GlockMeister · 01-23-2008, 01:20 AM

I did check to see if this was ever brought up. I didn't find anything but unless I typed it in the same, I'm not sure if I would have come up or not.

If it was already a subject for discussion, I apologize. I just ran across it and thought that it is such a sharp looking .22 I just wanted to share it with you and get some input on it.

Yes, it is a little on the fancy side. There a many other .22s for probably a lot less that will probably shoot just as good if not better. Anyhow, check it out.

Ruger - Charger™ Pistol

Not a bad suggested retail price either.

Didn't I see that in one of the Star Wars movies? Or maybe it was in Star Gate?

Was it posted already A.H.? I searched and didn't find a thing? As I mentioned, I may have entered the search criteria different and that may be why nothing came up, but then also, I only looked at the titles not the content every single post. So if it was already a subject, I apologize as I missed it.

Looks like it was designed by the same person that did this one.

Model 597™ Yellow Jacket

Each to their own, but not in my gun cabinate.

I'll have to dbl. check there. I did look under Ruger, trust me. lol. The last thing I want to do is waste server space on an issue that has already been covered or discussed.

If I don't type the search words in exact, I suppose I'll always come up with a multitude of posts to go through.

Is there a better way? Example, I typed in Ruger Charger .22 and 496 results came up. Then did it a different way, can't remember how I worded it, but just as many if not more results came up.

I really didn't or don't want to have to go through that many results to determine whether or not something has been discussed already or not. So is there a better way?

Thanks in advance, G-Meister

Hmmm . . . not my cup of tea. I figure if it needs a bipod, it also needs a reasonable barrel length and a buttstock.

LiveToShoot · 01-23-2008, 07:47 PM

Yea, that's a sweet looking and performing pistol, for a small caliber one, that my wife could enjoy shooting...the Ruger 22 Charger.

For me, I prefer a pistol that barks loud and hits hard when shot.

Just received an email from thegunsource.com/store for anyone interested in this. They're selling it for $281.47. Not a bad price. Wish I had an extra $300. But then, I wish I had an extra $3000 for that matter.

I beleive this gun will be a big success for Ruger once some get in the hands of shooters. We'll see and I like it but I'd reather have a black composit stock.
the Laminate stock is to racey for me...A.H

neophyte · 01-29-2008, 02:00 PM

Looked at it over the weekend at a gunshow.
Cute.
Bigger than I thought it would be.

9mmfan · 01-29-2008, 04:25 PM

It does look sharp, you could add a 25 round Butler Creek mag and have a 25 shot handgun. I think it should work out for Ruger pretty good.

ArkansasHunter · 01-29-2008, 10:16 PM

You'll prolly see this gun accessorised like the 10/22 has been.
