Went into the LGS to pick up the S&W 1076 that I bought on Gunbroker and while standing around (dangerous), I saw this sitting in the rack. It was used, but looked new. It is in a folding AND collapsing stock and is repleat with accessory rails (top, bottom, sides). I thought it was aftermarket, but apparently this is a Ruger stocked item (ATI stock, short heavy barrel, 20-round mag). Priced at $400, I could hardly pass it up (even though I've TRIED to like Mini-14s in past, I have only had them pass through my hands). I know they are worth more than the $440 I paid (with tax), so what the heck. Any thoughts? Anyone else have one?

I got a 580 series in stainless with 9 mags for $500 from a bro that I know in a gunsmithing class. |

The new Mini's shoot better than the old ones. You got a factory pimped new model for about the same price as a beater old standard model goes for in my area. I say "you done good". Yep, I picked up mine (187 Series Ranch Rifle) for $400 and with it I got 1400 Rounds of 55gr SP, then I paid $80 for the ATI stock. I would say you did pretty good |

Thanks for the offers of replacements stocks. I have not decided what, if anything, I will do with the stock. Certainly won't do anything until after I've fired it "as is" (which will probably be a couple of weeks).
Here's a picture (not my rifle of course, but it is just like it). : ) Ruger Tactical Rob |
