The Ruger Mini-14 offers a simple, rugged, Garand-style action with breech bolt locking system, a fixed-piston gas system and self-cleaning moving gas cylinder that gives this rifle unparalleled reliability under harsh operating conditions.  Integral scope mounts, machined directly on the solid steel receiver, provide a stable mounting surface for included scope rings, eliminating a potential source of looseness and inaccuracy in the field.  This rifle also comes with an accurate sighting system, ghost ring rear aperture sight and a non-glare, protected blade front sight right out of the box.  And the Cold hammer-forged barrel has ultra-precise rifling that provides exceptional accuracy and longevity.
