Like most of the members who posted here, I bought my first-generation Ruger Charger when it first came out, and was duly impressed both by its reliability and accuracy.
Last year, I decided to buy a second Charger, the newer take-down version. I now regret this, since I have never been able to get the take-down model to print groups as small as those from my original fixed-barrelled Charger.
The best groups that the take-down version of gun will do (in its "stock" form) are 1.5 inches at 25 meters, using the ammunition that my unit likes best, which is SK Pistol Match.
I find that very disappointing, since my Smith and Wesson Model 17 will produce groups half that size with match ammunition at the same range.
I've watched every YouTube video and probably read every piece of advice on how to wring more accuracy out of the gun, and I'm still trying to figure out how to proceed, short of swapping out the original parts for aftermarket replacement stuff.
If I don't find a workable solution, I'm seriously considering selling the take-down version off, and keeping the original fixed-barrel Ruger Charger. Maybe I'll start a separate thread and get advice on how to deal with this issue!
