Classic Ruger Mini-14 w/ Tasco Scope – .223 Remington

A true American icon, the Ruger Mini-14 scales down the legendary, battle-proven Garand/M14 action into a lightweight, fast-handling carbine. Known affectionately as the ultimate “ranch rifle,” the Mini-14 is prized for its rugged reliability, soft recoil, and point-ability.

Whether you are looking for a dependable truck gun, a nimble brush-country hunting rifle, or a classic recreational shooter, this Mini-14 delivers. It comes outfitted with a high-quality Tasco optic mounted in Ruger’s famous factory-machined integral rings, and a flush-fitting 5-round magazine that makes it an excellent choice for hunting trips or shooters living in capacity-restricted states.

Condition Report

This Ruger Mini-14 is a classic, previously owned ranch gun. It shows honest signs of field use but has been well maintained and remains mechanically excellent.

• Finish: Retains approximately 85-90% of its original factory bluing. There is standard finish wear on the sharp edges of the receiver, slight thinning on the barrel and gas block, and minor operational wear on the bolt track and charging handle. No deep rust or pitting.

• Bore: Very Good to Excellent. The bore is bright and reflective with strong, well-defined rifling. It shows no signs of neglect or heavy fouling.

• Wood: The hardwood stock is solid and structurally sound. It displays a handsome field patina with scattered light dings, surface scratches, and compression marks typical of a rifle that has been carried in the woods or behind a truck seat. There are no cracks or splits in the wood.

• Mechanics: The Garand-style action cycles robustly and with authority. The recoil spring remains strong, and the bolt locks up tightly. The trigger breaks cleanly, and the safety engages with a positive, tactile click.

• Optic: The mounted Tasco scope is in great condition. The lenses are crystal clear, free of scratches, and the reticle is crisp.
