This was/is a reasonable price alternative riffle for an AR-15 at the time I bought it. Well made and price for it have increased substantially for this type of tool.

I am very happy with this rifle. I have not had time to shoot it just yet. But will soon.

Awesome little back country pack gun. The M1 style rotating bolt is a tried and true design that’s reliable as all get out. The sights are easy to pick up and the folding feature is great if you do a lot of hiking. Zero purchase regret.

I absolutely love using this model of the Mini-14. I always loved the Garand style of the Mini-14, and when I saw this model, I had to check it out. Very comfortable to hold and fire. It's very accurate, even after heating up the barrel with rapid firing. I gave up carrying the AR-15 as a patrol officer, and started carrying this instead. The folding stock works very well for close quarters, like while clearing rooms. I've put thousands of rounds through this rifle while training and never have had a problem with the cycling. There are only two things that would make this rifle better: 1) Magazines that are cheaper and interchangeable with AR mags. 2) Larger or raised iron sights. The iron sights work just fine, and look good. However, you can't co-witness the sights with a mounted optic. It's an excellent, reliable, rifle for any situation. I was even more accurate while firing rapidly, than I was with an AR. The gun is weighted/balanced nicely to keep muzzle rise to a minimum. It does everything an AR does. Just don't expect it to actually be an AR. It's different a feel and different handling. If you're used to AR-style rifles, like I was, it will take a bit of practice to get used to the differences.

GREAT shooting rifle and has been zero problems out of the box! Thousands of rounds later nothing has changed. Anyone would be happy with this rifle and as always Bud's price and service was outstanding.

Ruger is truly the working mans firearm. They build quality guns and have pricing that doesn't break the bank. This is my first Mini 14 and it has given me the incentive to add a Mini 30 to my arsenal. All around this a great gun and shoots straight right out of the box.

I got this mini 14 from Buds Gun Shop at what I would call a fantastic price for what I received. Ruger hit this one out of the park, I have had a earlier mini 14 which is OK but disappointed Me somewhat. This mini 14 makes up for that. I have other products purchased from Buds that I have not rated ,Yet but that have been excellent as well.

This is the first firearm I have purchased from Bud’s guns. I have to say that the customer service was out standing. The price was reasonable and the rifle itself is awesome. I will defiantly buy from Bud’s again. Keep up the good work guys!

To start, this rifle is too expensive for what it is (-1 star). Having said that, it's a joy to shoot! I took it out to the range and several of us got a chance to shoot a mag or two through it. Put a Sparc2 on top and didn't have to zero it to hit a target at 50 & 100 yards. Looking to put a PA 1X6 on top permanently and hitting targets 200 yards and in. Compared to an AR, this rifle isn't quite as versatile, but the action is very smooth and makes easy work of any targets I may put in front of it. Now I'm encouraged to get a real M1 carbine.

This rifle is Sick, my last mini 14 was a ranch style that I dressed up and sold it for 4X more that I paid for it & it does not even compare to this one. Great price, fast shipping. have been shopping at Bud's for years, Love this place. Thanks Guys, you killed It again. Erin

I love this gun! Maybe I'm old school, but this baby just appeals to me. I could shoot it all day if I could afford the ammo. It may be heavier and not as pretty as an AR (yes, I have one of them too), but if I was ever in a tactical situation I'd probably grab my mini-14. What else can be said about Bud's? They are simply the best dealer on the internet to shop with. I have been and plan to continue to be a frequent and loyal customer.

Best gun i ever bought way better than a ar 15 my only gripe is magazine cost.

BudsGunShop was great, 5 stars, as advertised. Great packaging, easy to work with local dealer supplied by Buds. Will have no hesitation with dealing with Buds in the future.

The gun is What expected..Looks great and shot one magazine of ammo so far shoots great.no problems. The ony thing that I think could be better is the bottom Picatinny Rail could be longer. That way you could add 2 items on bottom of gun. Hand grip and laser ect. Other than that I love this gun.

An awesome Rifle. Shoots Great as long as brass casing 223/556 ammo is used. It does not like steel casing Ammo.

Purchased this weapon from Buds in December and because of weather didn't get to fire it for a couple of weeks. Installed a 3x9x40 Burris scope and a bipod and had to let it set for a while. When I did get to fire it, was very easy to sight in, had it lined up with 5 rounds. I like this Ruger mini 14 great especially because it is made according to the M1 Garand and M14 actions, these in my opinion can't be beat. Will continue to use Ruger's and Buds

Outstanding service and even better gun! Had 2 20 round clips in box. Will definitely buy from Buds again!

It's everything I hoped it would be. Everything fits very tightly and at first it was hard to put it back together but once I figured it out it was a breeze.

I bought this for my sons graduation. Was going to get him a AK47 (he loves mine) but then we seen this at Buds and he wanted it. We put a cheap red dot on it and it hits where you aim. Couldn't be happier although it is a pain to clean, takes like 45 mins to do a good job. Had to get the manual to get the bolt back in LOL. Love the rifle and the service from Buds. Only reason for the 4 instead of 5 stars is the pain to clean.

I took it to the range and dumped 300 rounds through it. Fires Flawlessly. Great Gun, and as usual, great service from buds.
