Description
Picture this: you’re at the range, and the guy next to you is burning through expensive centerfire ammo like it’s going out of style. You, on the other hand, are plinking away with a grin, hitting steel with satisfying pings for pennies per round. That’s the practical, budget-conscious joy of a dedicated rimfire pistol platform. But is it just a range toy, or can it be a serious tool for training, pest control, and fun? Let’s break down a package that aims to deliver serious capability without the serious price tag.
The Ruger 22 Charger Railed Brace Mount, Rimfire Pistol, 22 LR, 8″ 1/2-28 Threaded Barrel, Matte Black, A2-Style Grip, Black Polymer Stock, Picatinny Top Rail Installed, 15Rd, Includes Adjustable Bipod is a highly configurable .22 LR pistol built on Ruger’s proven 10/22 action. It features an 8-inch threaded barrel, a top Picatinny rail for optics, an integrated rear brace mount, and comes with a 15-round magazine and an adjustable bipod, offering a complete, ready-to-accessorize rimfire platform right out of the box.
Here’s the thing—the value here is in the complete package. For $375.99, you’re not just getting a pistol; you’re getting a system. The included adjustable bipod is a huge plus, instantly turning this Charger into a stable bench or prone shooter. That bipod alone would cost you $30-$50 separately, making the bundled price even more attractive. The top Picatinny rail is already installed, so adding a red dot or scope is a simple, drop-in ready process with no gunsmithing required. This is a major advantage over some other rimfire pistols that might require you to source and attach a base separately.
The heart of this setup is Ruger’s legendary 10/22 action, renowned for its reliability and massive aftermarket support. The 8-inch barrel provides a handy compact form while still offering good velocity for the .22 LR round. The 1/2″-28 threaded muzzle is a standard feature that opens up a world of possibilities—think suppressors for ultra-quiet shooting or compensators. The integrated railed brace mount is the key feature, allowing you to legally attach an arm brace (sold separately, subject to current regulations) for enhanced stability, effectively creating a compact, highly maneuverable pistol-caliber carbine experience.
| Caliber | .22 Long Rifle |
| Barrel Length | 8 Inches |

Pros: Outstanding value for a complete, ready-to-setup package. The included bipod and installed rail add immediate utility. Built on the ultra-reliable and customizable Ruger 10/22 platform. The threaded barrel and brace mount offer huge potential for customization. Ammunition cost is minimal, allowing for high-volume practice.
Cons: As a pistol, it requires careful handling and a specific shooting stance for accuracy without a brace. The polymer stock is functional but basic. You will likely want to invest in additional magazines and an optic, which adds to the total cost. The bipod, while handy, is a budget model.
So who is this for? It’s perfect for the shooter who wants a versatile, low-cost training analog for larger AR-platform firearms. It’s a dream for small game hunters and pest controllers who need a quiet, accurate tool (especially with a suppressor). It’s also an ideal first “project gun” for someone wanting to learn about firearms customization without breaking the bank, thanks to its compatibility with a vast array of 10/22 aftermarket triggers, barrels, and chassis systems from brands like Volquartsen and Tactical Solutions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this come with an arm brace installed?
A: No, it does not. The product includes the integrated mount for a brace. The brace itself is a separate purchase. Always check current federal and state regulations regarding pistol braces before purchasing and installing one.
Q: What kind of optic can I mount on it?
A: The installed top Picatinny rail will accept any standard red dot sight, prism scope, or long-eye-relief pistol scope with a Picatinny mount. A compact red dot is a very popular and effective choice for this platform.
Q: Are other 10/22 magazines compatible?
A: Yes. This Charger uses standard Ruger 10/22 rotary magazines. The included 15-round magazine is great, but it is also compatible with the factory 10-round magazines and many aftermarket high-capacity options available from numerous manufacturers.
