Looks like it shoots. Good work! How was the accuracy with stock bbl at those yardages?
I've been looking at them, Chargers, for IMHSA silhouette shooting for a while now. Little bitty shoot off chickens at 100 yards make for a formidable target so I was concerned about the accuracy. If I drop an aftermarket bbl on one that limits the class's the gun can be shot in.

nice setup, how does that rapid reticle correlate to the distances shot? close?

Allen-- there's a Magnum Research Picuda that's supposed to outshoot my type of setup for sale for ~399 at Specialty Sports in Colo. Sgs. The factory barrel would do ~2.0 MOA at 100 and certainly larger further out. This Kidd barrel shoots everything very well. I was out with a buddy a couple weeks ago who was shooting a big Kimber tgt. 22. I set up maybe 7 1-2" diameter rocks at 100 yds. and ran them all in as many shots before he could even get on them with his big tgt. gun.
Top--it's very close with anything that runs 1200-1300 mv. The Blazers run right with the Fed. Auto-Mtch. and Bulk Val. Pack 36 grainers from Wal-Mart to at least 150, and very close to 200.

I just killed a prairie dog today @ 290 on the 4th shot using that rig with 38 MOA of comeup beyond the optics 200-yd. stadia line (20.6 MOA). Had to use the 75% 10 mph point for windage. I couldn't believe it.

The Charger is a blast when I take new shooter to the range. I shoot it in some of our club "fun" matches also.
I bought a GM fluted barrel, cut it down to 10" and crowned it with a PTG crowning tool. Off the bench it will hold 2" with Wolf MT.
Time you change the barrel, put a good trigger kit in it you can get the Magnum Research Picuda mentioned above and be several $$ ahead.

Interesting u mention that. After i saw that rig above I thought about all the addts. i have in that Charger. If i'd have thought a bit more about it i'd have looked for one of those MR's instead. Unfortunately they're not making them anymore and u have to find a used 1 somewhere.

A buddy is shooting MOA's 10-22 clone in a Charger-like rig and has a Green Mtn. barrel on his and loves it. Grouping very well with Fed. Match. ammo. He said they tried several barrels including the Kidd and the GM beat them all...interesting.

I used an MOA receiver on the last 10/22 I built. I like the threaded barrel attachment over the V block. Lilja barrel, Kidd Bolt and trigger group, Boyds Evolution??? stock. The only thing on it with the ruger markings is the mags.

Nice set-up ! I really like my charger. it is a under-rated .22. i cerakoted it snipergrey and used microslick on the internals, bolt etc. with the microslick the dirty .22 buildup is almost non-existent.i have a eotech optik on it. Lynn
