Always wanted a .223 / 5.56 semi auto. I wanted the more traditional look of a wood stock instead of the hi tech / sci fi look of M4 / M16 type rifles. I took my Mini 14 rifle to the range for the first time yesterday and couldn't be more pleased. Fired 200 rounds without one jam. For a weapon with iron sights, It is surprisingly accurate at 200 yards. The only minor drawback that comes to mind is magazine insertion takes a little time to master. It kind of has to be put in on a slight angle, and swung into place. Removal is no problem, just hit the release and the magazine will drop free. The only recommendation I would make is to change out the rear peep sight that comes with the rifle. Although I stayed with a peep sight. I installed one that is much easier to focus on and adjust than the original equipment Ruger sight. Overall, I am pleasantly surprised by the performance of this rifle and will be putting another one on lay away soon.
