Ruger Charger,Leupold Red Dot.Only thing I think it will need is some Volquartsen goodies for the trigger,which isn't too bad,i'm just used to my other .22's triggers(volquartsen stuff).

The 10-22 never really impressed me but the Charger does quip my interest. I think Ruger has another "hit" with the Charger.

It has good lines. How does it shoot?

I just watched the video on Rugers site. That looks like too much fun! Might have to add one of those to the toy list. http://www.ruger.com/Charger/Video.html

That does look like a pretty nice/fun pistol, but I guess I must be a little bit of a romantic ... I really like my T/C Contender with the 14" match grade .22 long rifle for lots of shooting practice. I feel like it keeps me in tune for the bigger calibers for fall!
Looks like a pretty nice gun, have fun!

I agree, nothing will ever replace my .22lr Contender barrel. It gets more use than all my other barrels combined.

Where did you find the Charger ? Spoke to my dealer today and he said that they were not available yet. Obviously you know something that he doesn't.

Rupe, check with another dealer. These have been out since Christmas. I've had mine for about 3 weeks. Here in Ga. it was $289 plus tax. They sure are fun to shoot.

Yeah they are out, the Buffalo Gun Center has one for $329.00. That's alittle high as most who have got them are buying around the $300.00 mark or a little less. Don't feel to bad that the gun shop doesn't have and or know about them. When I was in the Buffalo GC, which is a big shop. I asked about 327 Fedral Magnum ammo for my collection. The guy behind the counter had never heard of it and thought I miss-spoke. So he hands me 357 Mag ammo?? I just smiled and said that's not it. I then ask him if he had heard about the Ruger RCM's. He said "yeah. I think so" with a real blank look. I just left it at that.

gasixgunner-where abouts do you live? I have been stationed at Moody just out side Valdosta for 8 years now. I got my hands on 1 Charger just before i was deployed in Feb. But i recall it being a bit over 300 bucks.
