    How did I do, new Ruger Charger

    so I headed to the LGS today with the intent of buying a Remington 722 in .257 roberts, but someone else had it on hold so I asked about the Charger he got yesterday in trade. Got it for $270 OTD, gun is unfired as far as I can tell (mag and internals are absolutely pristine). Came with soft case, bipod and bushnell 2x6x32 scope. Hope to take it out today and see how it does.

    Get some of those 25 rounders and it'll be like a big, accurate Tec-22.

    yes, a big, accurate, reliable, well made, non total POS tec-22. The sad thing is it costs about the same....

    well it's not unfired anymore. Took it out today and put a couple hundred rounds through it. Thing is crazy accurate, I could keep all 10 shots on a 3 inch rock at 100, also managed 7 out of 10 on a 1/2" piece of rebar at that range, both with crappy bulk ammo. The big downside is that its not very good off hand, because there is just too much wobble with the scope. Did have one stovepipe and one FTFire, the ftfire is to be expected with bulk ammo.

    about this picture nonsense



    The question now is what do I do with it? It hits so consistently its amost boring....

    no can do, PA says no semi's or hunting. I could carry it for CCW if I was so inclined....

    Thinking of getting a second barrel and having it threaded for a possible can purchase

    CCW, naw, just leave it to the wife to nail an intruder to the carpet, like lots of little tacks.

    NICE piece BTW.

    As nice as that gun is, it would be incredible with an integrally suppressed barrel.
    If I had a dollar for every time CAPITALISM was blamed for problems caused by the GOVERNMENT, I'd be a fat filmmaker with a baseball cap.

    I got the model from Bandai.
