Which Ruger Mini would you choose? 5.56 or 7.62? Any reason to have one over an AR or AK? Thanks for your .02 fellow shooters!
1)I have like 15k rounds of a 7.62, I would go with a mini 30. 2) you can never have to many guns.
They seem to be better priced than a high end AR or AK. I don't know anyone with either which is why I wanted feedback.
The Ruger minis are fun guns for plinking or shooting pests. They are generally (but not always) lighter and handier than a AR-15. The Mini-30 would probably be cheaper to shoot, though if I were looking for one I'd most likely go with the Mini-14. If you like the feel and handling of them over an AR or AK then go for it.
Do you need a high end AR or AK? There are some decent rifles of either type out there for not much more than the cost of the Rugers.

The Minis are fun and will eat anything. I bought my last Mini-14 in 2000. It has seen a ton of ammo. The only reason I do not have a Mini-30 is because I have not found a good deal on one yet. ARs are fun, but I will never let go of the Mini.
Disclaimer: I've never owned a mini 14 or mini 30 but have shot both.
For the price of the rifles and mags I'd rather have an AK, AR or both. None of the minis that I've had experience with have any better accuracy than an AK other than the target model, which for the price isn't as accurate as any of my ARs in the same price range.
I do like the Deerfield carbine in .44mag though.

If i were to own one it would have to be a Mini-14 GB. Maybe an ex-OHP or NYPD rifle.
Good input gentlemen, thanks. Much to consider. Thinking about a quality AK over the Ruger for about the same price sounds interesting.
