I just bought one a few weeks ago. It's the standard (non-takedown) version with wood stock and UTG bipod. The bipod is crap so I swapped it with a Harris version and then swapped the stock for the Blackhawk Axiom pistol version which is way better. I topped it with a cheap $30 red dot from Amazon (actually works pretty well).
My LGS was selling them for $269 for the blued standard and a free Ruger ball cap, t-shirt and sticker. Other mods to come shortly. roy d...now looking to swap the barrel for a 6" Kidd |

I bought the original charger when I found out they had discontinued them. Got the last one from my local cabelas. I had always liked them but it wasnt until I found out they were going away I wanted to get one. Imagine my surprise when I saw they came back with the takedown!
I still think the original looks better though. |

I own one of the original models and yes the stock looks much better and feels much better in the hand. Mine is a tack-driver even with the factory trigger and will make nickel-sized groups at 25 yards with bulk-pack ammunition. The whole family loves this gun.
I do wish it had the threaded barrel and 1913 rail that the new models come with. I would love to use mine as a suppressor host. |

I own an original and it is a tack driver, I use mine for small game hunting, I have a long eye relief 3x9 scope on mine and one inch and better group at 50 yards is obtainable.

Wife unit got one recently. She really likes it. I shot it a few times and it seems like a cool little shooter. Still trying to work out what 22 it likes. The Remington small cardboard box all lead bullet really gunked up the thing. Only had a couple of FTF, after going through 100 rounds or so of crap ammo. I suspect a good cleaning, light lube, and decent ammo and it will be a great little gun. Then there's the problem of finding 22 to feed it...

I bought the original charger when I found out they had discontinued them...... Same thing that I did. These are really cool guns. I pulled my stock 10" Charger barrel and found a take-off 10-22 barrel that I chopped and threaded. I see no diff in accuracy with the shorter barrel and it makes a nice host for a can.  Rifle like accuracy out to 50 yds. I usually shoot mine off a bag rest and have never put the bipod on it. It runs like a champ on any ammo that I feed it. Get one, join in the fun.

Never a fan, then saw and handled one of the new models (non-take down), I liked it. Ruger is also offering a drop in high quality trigger too.
