Ruger Charger A new look.

The Ruger Charger is a new offering from Sturm Ruger and appears to have the potential to be a great option to a full size or even folding or collapsable survival rifle.  The Charger .22 pistol is almost a hybrid pistol / rifle, built around the 10/22's action.  The precision rifled barrel length is just 10" but together with the on-board adjustable bipod, the charger proves to be very accurate.  The standard 10-round 10/22 magazine is utilized, and removed easily with and extended release just in front of the trigger guard.  At 3.5 lbs and 19 1/4 inches long, it wont require a lot of room in your gear bag.  The charger is selling for around $300, a good deal less than the MSRP.  The lack of open sights would probably be the biggest drawback to substituting this weapon for a survival rifle, break your scope, and you may have a problem.  Other than that, the charger stands out somewhat in a league of its own.
