My Stainless and Blue MINI 14's!!!!

[ap3572001]

Decided to run a course at a local police range with my MIni 14's.

Just to see .

I used my Blue and Stainless NEW models with regular wood stocks, factory sights and factory 20 and 30 round magazines.

Guns were unmodified in any way and almost new.

I used Federal AM 55 grain and 62 grain LE ammo.

They ran 100%. I cant say anything negative.

Shot on the move, prone, kneeling , standing, rapid fire etc.

They are keepers! may pick up another one just to have.

I have a soft spot for mini's - always wanted a GB series. Sounds like you did well

Just can't be! Every expert on this board says that Mini-14s are inaccurate. obsolete, pieces of trash....

Glad to hear it went well and you had a good time.

Cops in Cali would freak if they saw me at a range there with mine

It runs 100%, always has since day 1.
I find it much easier to use on run and gun courses than any of my ARs.
It just feels right.

Just bought a brand new Mini-14 Ranch Rifle, stainless, with black synthetic stock. Can't wait to start burning ammo. I'm thinking I might put a red dot or holo on this rifle.

dude that's absolutely sick! I always thought mini's looked better with the AC556 style folding stock than the fixed stock.

My 580-series Mini-14 Ranch Rifle, stainless, with a Burris Euro Diamond 1-4x (Burris has discontinued this line of scopes, but they have others that I think are equivalent). For those of you who may be out of date with Ruger's improvements to the Mini-14, the first thing to note if you see one in a gun shop is the barrel contour, which is pretty obvious in this picture. It's a great rifle, accurate enough and much better than the older ones; I'm a fan of this rifle and its various versions, although this is the only one I own at present.

I want to get one so I could trick it out like the top one in this pic.

Very Cool! How do you do this? Out of State? Registered AW? LEO? or Screw it who cares!

Next perhaps we can rehabilitate the pre-580 series Mini 14s and bring them into acceptance by the AR and AK crowd.

I enjoy my new SS Ranch Rifle! I want to work on getting a blued 16" tactical model though to go along with it.
