Anyone here own a Ruger Mini-14 .223?
Considering picking this one up once back in stock. Not planning on going hunting with it, just spending time at the range plinking targets more than anything else.
http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/p...eFolding+Stock I definitely want a semi-auto and something in the .223 caliber so an AR-15 is not out of the question but the Ruger seems to be outstanding value. Last edited by pr_capone; 03-13-2012 at 12:34 AM.. |

I have one, it's just a plain wood stock. It's a nice little gun, but I enjoy shooting my SKS a little more.

On the cheap end I have used alot of Simmons with good success. Mid grade Leupold is hard to beat for their customer service/warranty. Higher end you get into the Swaro's, Zeiss, the German optics. General line is that Leupold is about the best total value around but you're looking at $350 to $1000 depending on what you get.

Mini 14 is a great rifle. Had one since I was 16. I wouldn't ruin it with a scope, it's a great open sight rifle. You can hold it by the barrel and tap the buttstock on the ground and it will chamber a bullet. It's a wonderful gun.

Just to clarify, I have over 1200 guns on hand, all unique, and my own personal range.....IF you want to try a particular gun, trust me, I have it.
For instance......how many of you have fired a Beretta M93R? How about a WW2 grease gun!? Or pick any automatic rifle. |

I was thinkign of building an AR this year for plinking/fun etc. but after shooting the S&W MP .22 (with supressor), I'm considering getting it instead.
Fun as heck to plink with; cheap ammo etc. ...then spending the money I'd save on possibly a Kimber or Sig 1911 |
