Ruger Mini 14

Congratulations, sld! You're gonna love it.

I also recommend the Hornady VMax 35gr varmint rounds. BTW, these are back in stock. At least according to a Natchez e-mail I received a couple of weeks ago.

Enjoy,

I ordered a couple of 20 round mags and a couple of 30 round mags from Ruger. After what I read I didn't want to mess with aftermarket magazines.

The gun came with two 5 round mags and also the scope rings. I will probably use it with open sights for a while.

View attachment 353592Love my mini (Ranch, stainless, wood). I also REALLY like my Weaver 1-4x20 scope. It's little, lightweight, and "fits" just right on a mini with the factory "low" rings. I agree on the trigger job. I used "GunDoc" at GreatWest Gunsmithing (Welcome to Great West Gunsmithing). It is now the finest trigger on any gun I own or have ever fired.

The Perfect Union bulletin board has a great Mini forum - Ruger Mini-14 and Mini-30 - Shooting Sports Forum

Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine!

Any one have any thoughts about this ammo for my new mini-14?

Buy Guns and Ammo 5.56x45 - 62gr - New Brass - Reloadable - Boxed, NOT loose - SS109 » Buy Guns and Ammo

I want to try different types so I still want to get a few hundred rounds of different types. Next one I'm looking at is the Federal from Cabelas.

It is probably fine quality wise.. of course remember it is SS109. so don't be blasting steel targets with it. Unless they want to destroy the steel. A lot of ranges will prohibit it being on the range for that reason. And of course you cannot hunt with it. But I imagine it to be good quality ammo.

Thanks James. I am just getting my feet wet in this game. Lots of pistols and shotguns but not too much experience with rifles....yet!

Yeah I was wondering if you might know what SS109 meant, that is why I mentioned it.

I put a Burris 4.5x14-50 scope with Burris high mounts on mine for varmints. Love this combo. Great price & great optics.
