Accu-strut is the name of the barrel stiffening device. Looks cool too! Lol

Cool , glad you got it in. The side optics mount make looking through the iron sights really easy. They also make a" barrel clamp", cant think of the official name, that stabilizes the barrell a little better. Yeah, they are a blast to shoot, feeling the action, its just different than an AR... I had a couple of the tapco mags that worked pretty well, factory are better. My son and I zeroed it in at 100yds. it worked great. Then it started shooting high right about 1 1/2", long story short we had some mags with .556 in them. Dont know the difference, weight of bullett , maybe? Good Luck and Great gun....

I've seen the B-Square side mounts for the Mini. Are they solid? If so I might mount an optic providing I can still use the irons. I did pick up a couple of the Tapco 2nd gen mags though I prefer 20 rounders in most situations.

I want this one(Mini-30) in stainless!



I think It would make a nice centerfire combo to go with my 10/22(Sporter) LTR.

I had a stainless Ranch Rifle. First round out of the pipe was dead on, but then the shots would string up and to the right.

There are several company's out there that can correct that. I shot the barrel out of it. At the time in the Reserves after active duty, we had unlimited access to ammo, and at summer camp, we shot the heck out of them. Could have fried bacon on them after a session.

Finally got my "new to me" Mini out yesterday. The thing is a blast. It's a circa '82 model in stainless with the light barrel. Ruger has since beefed up the barrel and improved accuracy. I think that even in it's stock form, the rifle is accurate enough for its intended use. At first I considered installing an optic on it but will probably keep irons on it. Tech Sights makes a replacement rear sight for the Mini that looks to be greatly improved over the stock sight.

Just for sake of discussion, my Mini has a black painted stock with "OSR" carved into it and a rack number on the bottom of the pistol grip. Anyone know what OSR is? Oklahoma Sheriff Reserve?

I don't know, but that is pretty cool. I think the OHP had minis for a few years.

Owned one for 4 yrs. Spent a buttload of money on it trying to make it shoot as accurate as a vepr and no go. They are ok truck guns but to expect accuracy as in anything better than 2moa forget it.

The B-Square mount is solid and it lets you use the irons. I have been using it for years and never had a problem.

I agree and don't plan to make the thing a tack driver. The way I figure, a Mini just needs to be accurate to Minute of Coyote.

Thanks, Biggs. I like the look of that B-Square mount.

lmao!

make sure you paint it chameleon and ask way too much for it when you sell it.
