10-22 Charger

[gunrunner]

I have a question. I just recently purchased a ruger charger. My goal is to set it up as a ground hog'in-always in the truck-gun. Do any of you guys have them and if so what sighting choice did you go with? I put a micro dot on it because its what i have at the moment, but im not sure its the best choice. A EER pistol scope or a rifle scope my be an option. What do you guys think?

(Oh yeah, i will post pics when i get home from work so no fat chick FPS.)

I don't want to burst your bubble but in MD that is considered a Handgun and handguns can't be truck guns.

Tim will tell you the same thing.

mbz300sdl is correct. No truck gun.

For Optics I prefer EER Pistol or rifle scopes for that application. Weaver has some nice EER scopes.

So im not sure what you guys mean, exactly. I can't take the gun to the farm where i hunt groundhogs in the back of my truck in a case? Use it and return it home. I don't mean hanging in the back window loaded.

Oh yeah that's fine and legal.

But when clandestine and I hear "trunk" gun it means it will be stored in the truck which is illegal for a charger but a rifle isn't illegal as long as it's unloaded.

So, no one else on here has a charger? No way. I don't believe it. Come on guys you are disappointing me here. Where are the floods of pics of modded chargers and optics banter. Like "I use a pistol scope." "Thats crap i use a rifle scope on mine because...." Well, maybe not exactly this but you get the general idea.

I see you already have a red dot. So now all you need is a good pistol scope to turn that into a 100yd pot shooter.

I love the way they look and i do like Ruger's a ot but i just can't bring myself to spend that much money on what is a short barrel 10/22.

Chad you just confused the hell out of me.

Just a joke.

Waking up dead, thats pretty funny.

sure he didn't wake up undead?? cause that's no laughing matter...a zombie with a charger...

For groundhoggin you need something like a straight up 6x? I use 3x9-40 on my 10/22, but a fixed 6X is probably going to be more manageable on the Charger. And less fumbling with zoom, and such.

At 25 yards with decent magnification those holes will be touching each other.

Then the groundhogs will be waking up dead!

OK, I'll play. But it's still just a plain vanilla charger with a cheapo red dot scope. It's accurate at 50 yds and provides plenty of cheap plinking fun. I'm not sure what else I'd want it to do.

Thank you for sharing. It is a very nice piece. I was thinking about a Kidd barrel. But im just not sure yet. This time next year there will probably be little left of my original charger.
