Mini-14 Prices...

[B]

Has anyone seen a stainless/synthetic mini in stock for less than $1000 lately? Seems like the price really took a jump this past year or two. Upwards of $1200... I bought two from Frontier for $650 each a few years back but sold them in a moment of weakness.

Yeah that's what they're running. They are better quality now then the previous generations. Still the best bang for the buck for a NR semi auto.

 

[prairie lover]

are you interested in the target version?

Looking for one with irons. As I said I bought two 580 series from Frontier for $650. I know everything has seen an increase but damn...

I saw the wood/blued version on sale for $1,100 somewhere a month or two ago ..... I think it was Cabellas. The other thing I've noticed was that a couple years ago, many retailers sold the stainless version and the wood/blued version for the same price, but now I see that the stainless version always goes for about $200 more now. I remember seeing both versions for about $800 about three or four years ago.

I wish lrb arms would build a custom version of the mini

Cabelas had the wood/blued version on sale for $990 a couple of weeks ago.

Do u guys install bolt buffers in your mini 14's? I had an old mini and sold it fast. 5"+ groups. I ordered a boot buffer and never used it. Now I'm thinking of a new mini 14 or a Benelli mr1. The benellie definitely feels and looks higher end and quality made compared to the mini. Any advise?

I ended up just paying $1200 for one. Obviously the price is pretty much standard now. At least the gun is solid enough to be worth it. Now to find some reasonably priced 20/30 round Ruger mags...

The prices were so good, that Black Friday Sale almost had me back in the Mini-14 game...le sigh...

Windham is basically Bushmaster (their old factory).

Can't go wrong with good ol' ABC. (Armalite, Bushmaster, Colt)

God I'm old.

Does Windham or the others make a Mini 14?

 

[300Spartans]

According to CBC, yes.

Good luck! I think CTC is one of the only places that gets them imported. And they are a bit dear.

 

[gregc]

with the canadian dollar tanking over the last couple of years, everything has gone up 25% or so. ouch.....

It looks like the price has increased from Ruger itself as well. American MSRP is only $100 less than what I paid. They typically list it high but still. Either way I am happy to be a Mini owner again.
