Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Hogue OverMolded .223 Remington Stainless Rifle

A: This rifle is in bud's California approved category. Should be good to go.

A: Yes, the Ranch models of the Mini-14 rifles are legal in Cali. The Tactical models are not. Here's the specifics... "As long as you choose a Mini-14 with no flash suppressor / flash hider (but a muzzle break is legal in Calif.) and as long as it has mags that are 10RD or less, it is legal in California."

A: Yes you can. It comes with a 5 round mag, but will accept the others as well.

A: You can use your other mags but it comes with a 5 round so you can legally hunt with it in any state for any game.

A: This comes with a 5 round removable mag and yes, you can use other Ruger mags or aftermarket ones for this model.

A: You sure can use other sized magazines with this rifle. I have the same rifle and I purchased two 30 rd mags for mine. Just be aware that standard AR15 .223-type mags will not fit this rifle. There is a slight difference between them as the Ruger has a different type of magazine catch/release. My mags are Ruger brand made specifically for this rifle and work flawlessly.

A: Yes, all Ruger compatible magazines will work.

A: This is legal in CA and also CT

A: They take a proprietary ring and seem to be scarce. You can find them on ebay. Product # 4101. I'd stick with the Ruger rings.

A: You would need these Rings Robert. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lynx-by-B-Square-1-Low-Stud-Base-Ring-Set-Black-Matte-4101/282226941286?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D49476%26meid%3Dca99ececc40d4daa94979d024e552639%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D182809432782&_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850

A: Tim, Ruger lists this muzzle device as a Adjustable harmonic dampener. Ruger does not post a lot of info on it so I would ask Ruger Customer Service directly at Telephone: 336-949-5200 / (Monday through Friday 8:00am - 5:00pm ET)

A: Adjustable Harmonic Dampener which is a weight that you move forward or backwards to get the best group with the round you are shooting you would have to ask ruger how it is attached Telephone: 336-949-5200

A: Ben given the cartridge ballistics and your 1 foot diameter measure, 375 to 425 yards or so max will be possible with quality ammunition. Longer than this, this round drops like a rock.

A: Get a good prism type optic like the Burris AR 332 with the Ballistic CQ reticle and you should be good to 600 yards. This is what I shoot 3-gun with but on an AR platform. Same ballistics. the .223 or 5.56 launches the 55 grain FMJ at 3150 fps. The guys who flunked Physics think the 5.56 is a superior round.

A: If you are good enough around 500 yards is possible if you shoot rifles like me 200 is max (I am no good with a rifle )
