| Maybe I'm missing it - but I want a Mini30 with a heavy 16inch barrel like on the NRA commerative Mini14.... Does such a beast exist? |

Quoted:
Are these such a hot item!?? There were a bunch of them on the market during the spring of 2011. I bought this one from a FFL in Minnesota off gunbroker. Cost was $600 NIB. By summer, the prices had gone up some, but there were still a half-dozen at any given time on gunbroker. Since summer, the number for sale has dwindled down to nothing. It's probably manufactured in cycles by Ruger and you'll have to wait until they crank out some more. I doubt they've been discontinued since it's still listed on Ruger's website.

How's it shoot!? I have shot my Mini-30 Tactical with both iron sights and a scope. The accuracy is quite good––way better than expected. 200-yard line with irons 
Group that neither I nor the rifle has replicated (there's a story to why I only shot three––I was just trying to see if I was on paper. Imagine my surprise.) 
Ruger Mini-Thirty Tactical with Burris 2-7x scope: 
Steel at 300 yards: 
Rifle shoots best with brass-cased Yugo surplus and Silver Bear. Has fired Wolf, Wolf MC, Norinco and Monarch steel case ammo. I did have 2 shallow primer hits that did not detonate the Wolf, out of approx. 400 rounds of steel case ammo. zero failures with brass cased ammo. |
