Ruger, Mini-14 Ranch 5801, 223 Rem/5.56 Nato, 18.5 inch, 5+1, Blued/Brown

The Ruger 5801 Mini-14 Ranch is a rugged semi-auto rifle from Ruger's long-running Mini-14 series that brings classic Garand-style action reliability to ranch, range, and patrol duties, chambered in 5.56 NATO/.223 Rem for widely available ballistics and a 1:9" RH twist suited to common bullet weights; its cold hammer-forged 18.50" blued steel barrel with six grooves delivers long-lasting, easy-to-clean rifling and consistent accuracy while the fixed hardwood stock and 13.50" length of pull provide a traditional, stable shooting platform well suited for sustained field use. The alloy steel receiver is blued, drilled and tapped and features Ruger's patented integral scope mounts machined directly into the receiver, and the included Picatinny rail and scope rings allow low-drift optics mounting for hunting or target work without introducing potential looseness; sighting options include a non-glare blade front and an adjustable ghost-ring rear for fast, precise sight acquisition. Weighing about 7 lb with a 38" overall length and a single-stage trigger, the Mini-14 Ranch is equally at home handling ranch chores, defensive duties, and recreational shooting where reliable semi-auto function, durable construction, and proven Ruger engineering matter.
