Mini 14 is .223

Youre thinking of the ruger 10/22 I bet.

Nope. I know what a 10/22 looks like. I've got one.

Is there something called a rancher? I remember seeing that on a price tag while looking at it...

Yes there are mini 14 ranchers but they are in .223

Ruger makes Carbines in pistol rounds. They look very similar to the Mini 14 but have a smaller clip.

Ruger makes Carbines in pistol caliber. They look very similar to the Mini 14. I saw one in a local gun shop that was chamberd for .40 S&W.

Mini14s also do not shoot groups, they shoot patterns at 100 yards. The guy who was asking about them would be better off saving up the extra cash and buying an AR15 if he wants a semi-auto that will shoot good.

There used to be, or maybe still is, a Mini 30 that was chambered for the 7.62x39

What exactly is a 7.26x39? I looked at the mini 30's and wasnt familiar with the caliber. About how much is a mini 14 and about how much is an AR-15? Thanks

A 7.62x39 is what SKS's and AK47s are chambered in. Its kind of a shorter version of a 30-30 ballistically. Really not good for much other than killing humans in my opinion.

I don't even know how much a new Mini 14 brings anymore. I have a 1976 200th yeear of liberty Mini 14 that I bought many years ago.

I bought an AR15 a few weeks ago and it cost me $750 for the gun alone. You can get an AR for 500 up to a few thousand dollars depending on what you want.

Check out Rock River Arms. They make a very nice AR.

I couldnt pass this thread up,I have a 223 Bushmaster that I have shot exploding targets out to 400 yards with and is equiped with a laser, flashlight,Holagramred dot scope and a 3x9 compact on it with a bi pod sling and sims vibrator barrel dampner I think thats all, I willl try to get a pic uploaded.
