ORIGINAL: North Texan
its reputation as a solid ranch gun
They are really meant to be more of a ranch gun.
Why does everyone call the Mini-14 a ranch gun? I ranch, I know lots of ranchers, and we all carry bolts or single shots.
i could be wrong but....Ruger calls the Mini a "ranch" rifle. mine is considered the "ranch" rifle aswell. i dunno if it's just because it is stainless or what.
