Why get a Mini when you can get an AK for $100 less or an AR for $100 more? The Mini-14 also has a reputation for less-than-stellar accuracy, though Ruger has addressed these concerns in recent years.
It falls somewhere in between the two, and it's priced right in there with AKs and cheap AR-15s, which makes it difficult for many to consider. Simply put, the Mini-14 has the unfortunate place of competing with the AR-15 and AK-47s. I'm not going to dwell too much on these. Today, I'm going to give you my take on the Mini-14-general pros/cons of the rifle and some thoughts about why you would want one. Yesterday, I posted up a review on Suarez International's recent DVD, Mini-14 Rifle Gunfighting: Just as Good as Any Other Rifle.
