Starting today I have had my Mini 14 for three weeks now and I'm getting close to the thousand round mark and I have enjoyed every shot. I have a Bushnell 4x16x40 scope and a bi-pod that I got from walmart on mine and I have the same mounts and I haven't had any troubles with it. Plus I love how it folds down. Also I was able get the girlfriend into shooting with it, and note that before hand she hated guns. So I'm very happy with mine and I would for sure buy another.

I just bought one today. My first gun actually and I can't wait to try it out. Thanks for sharing your review. Yours looks amazing by the way.

@gigantamos Congrats on the new gun! They really are great rifles that are underestimated. Thanks for the comment and watching our video!

I'm on my 6th tour in Afghanistan as a Private Security Contractor. I have carried the M-4 A1 during every deployment. I own 3 M-4's (Gas piston) and 4 mini14's at home. In my opinion the mini14 is far beyond the M-4 in reliability and accuracy. Cool video.

@dlw03141 Amen. Idk why so many people hate on it (especially AR owners IMO). It is one of the finest rifles ever made, the US military should have ditched the AR in the 70's and switched to mini-14/ AC-556 rifles since it is based on a rock solid, tired and true design. like they say "if it ain't broke dont fix it!".

Nice; I would have gotten the tactical version but at the time the 18" ranch was a better deal I got it on sale for $640 at cabela's. I like the scope mounts... yea they are a little weird but I have never had an issue with mine coming lose. If I take the scope off & put it back on while still being on my original point of aim.

Only thing I don't like is the way the ATI folding stock is designed & the way the rear sight is mounted... it tends to come lose after so many shots.

@CandRreviews Great up front review. I have no idea why the ar is so popular. They are expensive. The Mini is like a Glock. You use it then put it up. You don't have to tinker with it. Its a true reliable, accurate, tough as nails workhorse. As the man said"No B.S. to mess with.
