Ruger Mini 14 Ranch Rifle
The Ruger Mini-14 scaled down the military-grade M14 to create a civilian-friendly semi-automatic rifle shooting 5.56x45mm NATO. The Ranch Rifle was a further innovation in user-friendliness, adding an integral scope base, a folding aperture rear sight, and factory scope rings to help ensure accuracy and aim.
This lightweight semi-automatic rifle is a popular choice for personal defense, sport shooting, hunting, and more. Prospective owners can choose more classic or modern feels based on their personal preference and style of shooting.

The Mini 14 Ranch Rifle has a standard 18.5” tapered barrel. They come with a wood or synthetic stock alongside a blued or stainless steel receiver, and can be purchased in 5 or 20 round models in order to accommodate magazine capacity restrictions in certain states.
