Hi, I was never a fan of the AR 7 and the old Charter Arms had problems. If I was going to carry a take down 22 rifle I vote for the Marlin 39 with peep sights. Since I carry a 38 I load shells for small game, like inverted wad cutters. You can't be all things to every situation and neither can your equipment. Just my take, regards, Mike
