Something new

So decided it made sense to finally own a semiauto 223/556. Small town with a big gun shop about an hour from where I am had 6 mini 14s on the shelf. So i loaded up my girls fishing poles and paddleboards and went for a ride today. Ended up with this one and a 20round mag. Paddleboarding and fishing got rained out but it was a good day with the kids. Hopping to get out tomorrow morning and do some shooting.

That is a snazzy looking rifle... factory stock? I read that the new ones are pretty darn accurate too. Should be fun. CL

Ooooo! I´ve always liked the Ruger Mini 14's!

That'll work. I always thought the Mini 14 looked like the perfect modern day Ranch rifle.

Yes it is all factory, limited TALO addition, it also came with ruger rings and a rail so have a few options for optics but not worried about that yet just going to shoot the irons

Those rifles are fun to shoot. I recently had a Mini 30 Ruger in 7.62 x 39

Cool looking rifle you and the kids can enjoy. Dan.

Never owned one but they seem like cool little rifles. That one is dandy looking. Should be fun.

I like it!

I was really interested in these rifles, but I got scared off by reviews about bad magazines sold by Ruger. Has anyone else heard anything negative about aftermarket mags? I ended up thinking an AK would be better, but then I found the M1 Carbine made by Auto Ordnance which is also interesting, I just don't know much about the .30 carbine round.
