Ruger Charger 22 LR ?
What are your thoughts on this unique firearm? It seems to be neither fish nor fowl but I am intrigued by the concept.
I see some people posting on some bushcraft sites having used them for small game hunting. Sometimes with a brace and other accoutrements.
I have been toying with the idea of one set up as a foraging firearm. Small game and plinking in general. What are your thoughts? Thank you .
We have had them in our gun shop but hard
to sell. Something like a good long barrel 22 LR pistol with a scope on it should do just as well without being hard to carry. Or even a TC with a 10 inch barrel chambered in 22 Magnum would be a lot less bulky.

10/22 Charger
I was so excited about the idea of a Charger, I had my LGS special order one, and gave it to myself for Christmas 2007.
Put a 3-12 Burris on it and made all sorts of plans of what I could/would do with it.
All I've ever done is sat at the bench and shot metal chickens and pigs with it.
And as much as I love handguns, I would rather spend the day shooting my custom heavy barrel 10/22.
