As I previously mentioned in another thread (see Ruger Charger...Who else has one?) I decided to acquire a Ruger Take-down Charger last year, as a companion to my original, fixed-barrel Ruger Charger.
The problem is that this new gun won't shoot anywhere nearly as well as the original fixed-barrelled version --- the smallest groups it will produce measure 1.5 inches at 25 meters, using SK Pistol Match .22LR ammunition. I have mounted the biggest scope that I have on the gun; in spite of this, all other brands of .22LR print significantly larger groups than 1.5 inches.
I think you will agree that a gun configured like the Charger should be able to deliver substantially better accuracy than that, and I was hoping that members here with more experience than I have can make recommendations regarding how this gun can be made to shoot better, in its 'stock' form.
I view swapping out the original parts for aftermarket goodies as a last resort.
Looking forward to receiving your expert recommendations!
