Ruger Mini-14 5.56x45mm, 18.5" Barrel, Blue, Wood Stock, 20rd

First of all, John Garand was a very, very smart man. In a time when everyone is raving about piston driven ARs it is funny to me so many people overlook one of the original piston driven weapons....the Garand action! I have Ars-Aks-and hands down my minis are the funnest to shoot-ultra reliable and GREAT values! In my opinion the mini has the reliability of the AK with its open action, but it is quite a bit more accurate and easier to control than AK variants. Buy one...you will not regret it.

In all honesty the original series of Mini-14 rifles had a HORRIBLE front sight, that ugly blade type sight, and it just didn't quite measure up. However, the new Mini-14 series is absolutely awesome. They are very reliable and very accurate, due in no small part to the new front sights. With the rifle in its present form it is not only possible to put accurate and precise fire on target at ranges of up to 300 yards, it is relatively easy to do so. Shooting the Mini-14, with its new sights, is now as fun and comfortable as shooting an AR-15 or an M1 Garand. The old style front sight almost put me off from the Mini-14 but the switch to the present style with the new series has me sold on the Mini-14. You can't go wrong with this handy and accurate little ranch rifle. It is light and compact enough that you can keep it close by in your truck or in a saddle holster and then when you need you can drop a coyote without thinking twice. The 20 round Ruger factory magazine is an added plus that gives this nice little rifle serious home defense options for those who live in areas with few neighbors. With the new series Mini-14 you get a lot of rifle in a small package.

This is my Coyote and other various varmit removal tool. I love shooting this rifle. I've owned this gun for about 2 years, and on more than one occasion I've had a little fun emptying a 35 round clip, I've yet to have any issues. Impact's price is the lowest I have ever seen. Great buy on this rifle.
