Ruger’s Mini-14 has long been one of the most popular .223-cal. rifles. Ruger used the military's M14 as a base model for the new rifle, all the while incorporating a number of cost-saving alterations and innovations. It is ideal for use on the farm or ranch, in the woods, at the range or for personal defense.
