Looks like a sweet pistol. Just did a search to see who has it in stock. No one. If anyone see who's selling them please post where. 22-250 would be nice in a setup like this.

I really want one. Very excited to get one, but ruger announced this just last night. I expect a few weeks before i can find one.

More options might be a good thing, but I'm not sure what I'd do with it.

Note that they put an AR style pistol grip on it. Should be easily adaptable to a Sig Brace(ala AK). A Brace is going to rock on those.

I'm only disappointed that my existing Charger is no longer collectible.

This is pretty cool.

Doesn't the sig brace attach to the buffer tube? Might take a bit more to adapt it to the Charger. It does not attach to the pistol grip as far as I know.

The AK mount uses an adapter that is squeezed between the grip and the receiver - which then goes to buffer tube threads:

It would still be collectable as this is a new changed model. Kinda like pre 64 Winchesters.

I agree. The A2 grip is fugly. I like the concept though as modularity is a nice touch. I'd match it to my favorite AR grip and ditch that A2 post haste.

You could always add a wood AR grip:

That's single shot only though. A 22-250 semi auto in this ruger setup would be a sweet.

I'd love to have this gun in a .223.
