Ruger Mini-14

Expensive magazines....

Yes and steer clear of the aftermarket types they have serious feed/jam problems...in my exp.

Keltec is cheaper. Nifty kit.

Mini-14 looks nice. Fired it once only.

Ar15 has a large range for ones budget. Plus can drill out an 80% and not register it.

Non factory mags jam a lot and factory ones do not come in 30rd. for civilians. Not accurate for shit, hard to clean, a POS.

Great rifle!! Own 2 of them

Average Bid on auctions at GunBroker is North of $825

Great for use on horse back or dirt bike

BS... You can get ruger 30 rd mags they make them.... Go look at ruger website they sell them

Mini-14 very easy to clean and maintain

Tactical or ranch?

ask Hickok45..

Go for the Pellet gun, Uk's finest.

Ranch

Great carbine

As soon as the barrel starts to get hot, accuracy goes south fast

Hi cocky knows his guns and he loves the mini 14. this guy been shooting for decades and knows his guns

The older models yes ... Since 2005 ruger upgraded the barrel and their a fine rifle these days

Nothing wrong with them for what they are... Right now they are becoming more attractive since ARs and AKs are scarce in the market... Accuracy had never been great, but I understand the newer ones have a little heavier barrel and are more accurate now... Mags are twice what you would pay for AR15 mags... Red dots and accessories are not readily attached but there are options, about as adaptable as an AK... I think they are a good choice along with the mini-30 for someone use to traditional hunting rifle stocks and now in the market for a personal defence rifle... Another good choice right now is the auto ordnance m1 carbine... I see good reviews on the auto ordnance and 30 carbine ammo is easier to find right now... Tests on gel show that 30 carbine soft points are as effective as 55 grain 5.56mm and an m1 carbine is one light handy little rifle... I've seen bad reviews on the new inland corporation guns that's why I say the auto ordnance.

Had one in the mid 90's I couldn't get rid of that POS fast enough!

The reason the A-Team didn't kill anyone in their shows isn't to make it kid friendly, it's because they're shit.

Just get an AR15/M4

I had this issue and eventually sold mine.

.

Which applies to all rifles everywhere.

I didn't like the one I had. It was awkwardly short for me. If I had put an adjustable stock under it, it would have probably been fine.

I prefer my ar due to the wealth of readily available parts and upgrades. And 12 dollar high quality mags.

Mini-14 is the only one I got rid off.
Most rifles don't drift 2 or 3 inches after a few shots.

I prefer the M4 A1 . much better .
