.22 LR RUGER CHARGER SUPPRESSED
Rifle|Special Edition Fall 2020
Ruger’s 22 Charger rimfire pistol – based on Ruger’s 10/22 action – was introduced in 2007 and included an attractively-sculpted, black-laminated, pistol-gripped stock. Sturm, Ruger & Company’s semiautomatic 10/22 is one of the most popular .22 Long Rifle (LR) firearms of all time. They’re affordable, incredibly reliable, include a compact 10-round rotary magazine and a modular design.

.22 LR RUGER CHARGER SUPPRESSED

Ruger’s original 10/22 Carbine model has been in continuous production since 1964, with millions of rifles sold. The design was so solid, so popular, that 10/22 clones eventually emerged, including Thompson/Center’s recent T/CR22 and high-end wares from Volquartsen and Tactical Solutions.

The original 22 Charger, with a matte-blued, heavy 10-inch barrel, factory-supplied bipod and Weaver-style scope mount, measures 20 inches from muzzle to pistol grip. This is relatively long as pistols go, but still compact enough to make it pretty handy. Its autoloading action and detachable magazine separated from the grip make it illegal in some states, so check local regulations on this one. The 22 Charger was later discontinued, but was rereleased in 2014 with a brown-laminated stock and an AR-style pistol grip, 10-inch threaded barrel, Picatinny rail, 15-round magazine and an adjustable bipod (also a Takedown version). Black polymer stocks appeared in 2015.
