Ruger, Mini-14 Ranch Rifle, 5.56 Nato/.223 Rem, 18.5 inch, 5 rounds, Matte Stainless

The Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle in matte stainless is a compact, hard-working semi-auto built for field use and everyday carry-around-the-ranch duty, chambered in 5.56 NATO/.223 Rem with an 18.5" cold hammer-forged barrel that delivers long-lived, easy-to-clean rifling and consistent accuracy at practical ranges. Ruger's Garand-style action with a fixed-piston, self-cleaning gas system and breechbolt locking gives rock-solid reliability in dusty, dirty, or extended-use conditions, while the hardwood stock and 7 lb. balance make follow-up shots and shouldering comfortable during long days on the move. The receiver's patented integral scope mounts and included Picatinny rail and scope rings provide a stable sighting platform for optics, while the ghost-ring adjustable rear and protected blade front sight offer fast, precise iron sights for close-quarters or backup use. With a 5-round capacity, 1:9" RH twist, six-groove barrel and a 38" overall length with 13.5" length of pull, this Mini-14 model suits ranch security, predator and varmint control, and recreational range work; transfers must be completed through an FFL.
