For decades, Ruger Mini-14 rifles have been the choice for applications ranging from the farm and ranch, to the deep woods, to personal defense. Their short barrels and overall short length make them favorites in any application where maneuverability and ease of handling are priorities. This newest version of the Mini-14 rifle is chambered in 300 AAC Blackout, and features an optimized gas port that reliably cycles with both supersonic ammunition and subsonic ammunition when a sound suppressor is installed. The rifle weighs approximately 6.75 lbs., features a 16.1 inch barrel with a 1:7 twist rate, and is supplied with two, twenty-round detachable box magazines.
