I love it.  Never owned a charter arms for anything else but they have been around for a while. On the ar-7 I haven't had to replace anything on it in 25 years and it has had a few thousand rounds through it. Interesting thing about the ar-7 is that Eugene Stoner designed it in the 60s and it is still in production today.  Back to the question on the Charter Arms brand, simply put I would buy the stuff again.  Hope your friend enjoys his .308, it is a good all around caliber.

Savage 110 30.06 with a 4x scope on it. i traded it for another gun a few years back and have severely regretted it. now i will neither trade nor sell any guns.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

addicted I still have my Savage 110 .30-06. It is the only deer rifle I have now (Yes I want more). The rifle was a gift from my stepdad and I just love it. I put a 3x9 scope on it and have people wanting to trade or buy it from me. Not a chance LOL...

First firearm, a H&R Sahara 22 singleshot, a slide action singleshot.  Got it when I was 7 or so.  When I turned 9 it was replaced with a 10/22.  Still have both of them, they both shot extremely well (I lucked out with that 10/22, the original barrel shoots as nice as my target 10/22 barrels)!  Though being light, they are very finicky unless off bags.  First big rifle, a REM 600 in 308.  Wife took a moose with it last year.  That 308 has hunted the whole world (previous owner used it in africa, alaska, and other locations before he passed away).  When I carry that rifle, I feel like the good juju is still in it, things happen when I have that in my hands!
