I was at a local pawn shop today, and saw something I had never seen before....a Ruger Charger.....brand new. The pawn shop owner bought it when they discontinued them, and had recently decided to let it go. I ended up trading an old Colt Lawman mkiii that needed reblueing, and 60 bucks for the Charger. I never knew Ruger ever made such an animal, but I plan to hunt tree rats (squirrels)with it this season. Between the Charger with a 2-6x32 handgun scope, and my 22/45 with a reflex sight, the tree rats better watch out!
