Great rifle! Ruger continues to excel with their rifles. I have run several hundred rounds of steel cased ammo through it and not on hiccup. Solid reliable bolt and action. Absolutely well worth the money. Accurate out to 200 yds, haven’t tried any farther…..yet. Also have the Mini 14, which also is another one of Roger’s great rifles.

Having a Mini 14 already I had to have the 30. I absolutely love this weapon. Sights set perfect out of the box. Groups are consistently under 3 inches at 350 yards with factory sights! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for reliability and accuracy without the need for upgrades and modifications.

Fun gun - now wish i had purchased the 223 version. Nothing bad about the gun just hard to find 7.62x39 brass ammo to shoot indoors. So this gun only makes it to the outdoor range and some hog hunting trips. Hornady 7.62x39 ammo is accurate enough, maybe 2 moa, for hunting

I was very pleased with the Ruger Mini-30 that I got from Buds. I did receive it right away. I wish I had been as prompt to do the review as Buds was in sending the rifle to me. I give Buds and Ruger both a 5-star rating. Well done to all. I would recommend Buds to anyone buying a firearm.

I'll keep this short, as I have a tendency to get long-winded on reviews. I bought this rifle thinking I was going to cycle lots and lots of imported, steel cased ammo through it. Wrong. I, like many others, have made this mistake. The Mini series runs on a tried and true platform. It's been around for a BUNCH of years for a reason. They are GREAT rifles. But they, by design, don't reliably run steel ammo, right out of the box. These rifles were made to run American brass ammo. By design, they are made to strike softer primers. By design, they strike "lighter" and do not, from the factory, impart hard enough strikes to RELIABLY ignite steel cased ammo. I'm sure some are already shaking their heads and calling me names. If you've done your research, and know your ammo, you are in the group nodding their heads saying "yup, this is right". Import, steel cased ammo has different metallurgy used in the primers specifically. There are reasons for this, which I won't go into here since this is a GUN REVIEW. If your intent is to buy a Mini 30, pull it out of the box, and run through piles of steel or surplus ammo, let me save you some frustration and say "DON'T buy this rifle". It will, out of the box, run all day long on brass, American ammo. And it will run steel, unreliably. You will have some steel ammo that runs better and more reliably than others, but it will NEVER, out of the box, run as reliably as it will with brass. Yes, you can change to higher spring rates and firing pin configurations to more reliably use steel ammo. This is why I keep mentioning "out of the box". Summary: (didn't he say he was going to keep this short) The Ruger Mini series are fantastic, ultra-rugged, reliable, tried and true rifles. Just keep the above information in mind while making your purchase decision and you won't be disappointed in the end. If you think I'm bluffing or full of fertilizer, ask around to those who know about Mini's. Heck, ask Ruger. They have FANTASTIC customer service response.

Since I have a lot of Russian ammo for my AK and SKS, I purchased this rifle that theoretically could use the same ammo. However, after one trip to the range, I found out that the firing pin does not strike the hard primers of the steel cased Russian ammo hard enough to detonate each round, resulting in numerous FTFs. With a little research, I discovered that you must stick with quality brass ammo. Once I switched to good, brass ammo, I had no more problems. It's a Ruger, which means it's solidly built, rugged and well made. Since I live in the Socialist State of Kalifornia, which has all but outlawed AKs and ARs, this has become my go-to gun. It's small, light, accurate and easy to handle. The 7.62 X 39 rounds are hard hitting and are pretty much the equivalent to a .30-30 round. Great for most game from hogs to deer. I love this little handy rifle!

Functions smoothly with any of the garbage russian ammo I feed it. Is very well balanced and smooth to bring up to the shoulder. Weight is very comfortable, and the iron sights that come on it work great for functional range of the cartridge. NOT accurate, but as mentioned It gets fed only the nastiest of imported junk so its not a fair judge. It comes with nice steel rings AND a small picatinity rail that install across the receiver ring slots so there are plenty of optics options there. Trigger was very ugly from the factory - but for $50 I had it cleaned up and NO parts replaced to get it to 3.5lbs. The trigger group is remarkably well designed like that, just rough from the factory. Plastic stock leaves much to be desired, which is why I have to take off a star.

A:Hi Dennis, yes this is legal in Illinois. The part that's open to interpretation is weather it has what is considered a barrel shroud. I'm reading where some FFL's won't transfer them, but also reading that they are for sale in gun shops in Illinois. Best to check with your local FFL.See 2 more answers |
