Ruger Mini -14 Target Rifle
The Mini-14 has been with us for over thirty years now, Ruger has come out with a target version of this great little carbine.
The twenty-two inch barrel measures .786 inch diameter forward of the gas block, and .669 inch under the hand guard to the rear of the gas block. It has a one-in-nine-inch rifling twist to accurately stabilize long, heavy bullets, but still works well with short, light bullets also. The heavy barrel profile adds stiffness and a greater ability to absorb heat than does the standard barrel profile used on the original Mini and the Ranch Rifle.
The most noticeable feature of the Target Rifle is the harmonic barrel tuner which is truly a nice feature. This device is attached near the muzzle, and by loosening four Allen screws, a shooter can fine tune the barrel vibrations for the best accuracy with a particular load.
The stock of the Target Rifle is a gray/black laminated wood, with a radical thumbhole design that is very comfortable to shoot from a bench or an improvised rested position. The bottom of the fore end is wide and flat, adding to the stability of the weapon from the bench or an improvised field rest.
I purchased mine about 7 months ago at a local South Florida gun show and equiped it with a IOR Valdada 2-12x36 Spartan Rifle Scope, I had to special order the scope mounts from Ruger which was an extra $100 but well worth it. The resulting rifle was to say the least the deadliest thing I have ever shot at up to 600 meters. I chose Winchester FMJ 62 grain and ranged targets from 100 meters to 600 meters, the deviation on a 5 shot pattern wasnt even noticable.
The recoil was also minor because of the added weight. All in all this little 5.56 mm is deadly accurate and will rival an 5.56 mm target rifle available. I wouldnt reccomend this for a sniper rifle it simply doesnt have the distance of .308 or .338 or .50 but if you varmit, or hog hunt this little beauty is a real winner.
