I Own a Ruger Mini-14 & it is scoped & cleaned & oiled, & dialed-up & with Good handload & sitting in safe . & I have also owed several Ruger mini-14's over the years that played this same Role.
Habitual buying of Mini-14 ??? . It's like a Bad habit & I am a Habitual Offender that never learns his lesson . I 'Can NOT' for the life of me think of any good reason why I still buy them from Ruger ? . They just sit in the safe and I never shoot them .
One Day, I end up getting rid of it because I NEVER shoot it because I always end-up grabbing & shooting the AR's that are sitting next to it . I sell it . Only to open my eyes one day & look . 'WTF' , There is another Mini-14 sitting there in the Safe again ? .
It's just one of those bad things you do in life . You KNOW it is Wrong & Stupid, & a waist of good money & ammo . But you keep on doing it . Only Again, to let it be an embarrassment to yourself and your family and friends around you .
Buying Ruger Mini-14's ? . All I can think of is that I have some kind of Mental Block & bad wiring . I think it is a genetics white-trash thing ? . <span style="font-weight: bold">You buy Mini-14's because of Bad Breeding & it's a Genetics flaw Thing</span> . You will never overcome this obstacle because, Deep-Down you are Flawed .

LMAO!!
Maybe we're cousins... A few months back I traded a like-new 580 Series Stainless Ranch toward a Sig 1911 Nitron Rail since I never shot the Mini and it was just collecting dust in my safe. Since then I've been wondering (<span style="font-style: italic">for absolutely no good reason</span>...) if I should pick-up another one. <span style="font-style: italic">MUST RESIST</span>...
But seriously at current prices, at least here in NEOH, you can buy a decent AR for about the same price and have a much better firearm: STANAG mags, better parts availability, end-user serviceable (just try getting a replacement firing pin for a Mini...) and a multitude of upgrade options if you are so inclined.
