Anyone have experience with Ruger Mini 14 Ranch Rifles? I was shooting one this weekend and was pretty impressed. Seems like the perfect rifle (weight, power, etc) to have in the truck or tent when in the middle of nowhere.

http://www.activeresponsetraining.ne...-ruger-mini-14 I like them personally, but I probably would go with something else if it was an "Im in the middle of nowhere by myself" gun. |

One of the best handy rifles out there. Owned one since I was 16. Open the chamber , drop a mag in , hold it by the barrel and tap the but on the ground and it will chamber a round by itself. I've killed more shit with it than anything.

I my case, I liked the old school aspect of it. It's a great gun. But I am limited when it comes to options in a way that I wouldn't be had I got an AR10. So if you're cool with that, or (as I suspect) already have at least one AR and want something different just because you want something different, then enjoy. |

Mini 14s are just about always in the top 3 of any 'best all purpose survival rifle' list

Dude, get rid of it. GET. RID. OF. IT. If that guy still wants it, sell it immediately. Unless he's a friend and you value his life. If there's a local shop that allows you to sell it on consignment, do that. Or sell it on gun broker. But seriously, what's the point of having a useless weapon that you don't trust, unless it's some sort of valuable antique? Doesn't matter what sort of bling you put on it if it doesn't go bang when you pull the trigger. |

ehh, to me, if you are going to get something in 5.56 or .223 why not get the standard rifle that can be modified in thousands of ways and has millions of aftermarket parts to suit your needs?
Dont get me wrong, Id keep a mini 14 if I had one, but I wouldn't buy it over other options. |
