The Ruger Mini-14 Ranch rifle is engineered for consistent operational performance across diverse field conditions. It integrates a proven Garand-style action, featuring a fixed-piston gas system and a self-cleaning design, which ensures robust operational reliability. Its inherent breechbolt locking system facilitates stable cycling and contributes to consistent shot placement.
Key Features
Action & Reliability
Utilizes a self-cleaning, fixed-piston gas system derived from the M1 Garand, delivering sustained functionality and reliable operation even under challenging environmental circumstances.
Barrel & Ballistics
Chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO, this model incorporates an 18.5-inch cold hammer-forged barrel, finished in blued alloy steel. This construction optimizes bore integrity and projectile velocity for consistent ballistic performance. The 1:9″ right-hand twist rate stabilizes a broad range of projectile weights.
Optics Integration
The blued alloy steel receiver is factory-drilled and tapped, integrating both a Picatinny rail and Ruger’s proprietary integral scope mounts. This dual-attachment system provides multiple secure interfaces for a broad range of tactical optics or traditional magnified scopes, allowing for precise sighting solutions tailored to specific tasks or competitive applications.
Ergonomics & Sighting
Equipped with a robust hardwood stock, the rifle maintains a balanced handling profile and offers a durable, traditional aesthetic. Sighting is managed via an adjustable ghost ring rear sight paired with a durable blade front sight, providing dependable aiming capability in the absence of primary optics.
Included Components
This Mini-14 Ranch ships with two 20-round magazines, providing ample capacity for extended operational periods. Manufacturer-supplied scope rings are also included, facilitating direct optic integration.
