I am a big fan of the Ruger Mini’s. I’ve got an older Mini 14 Ranch rifle that I picked up used at my LGS for an incredibly low price, and grabbed a polymer Mini 14 in 300 Blackout when Academy was clearing them out a few years ago. I’ve wanted a Mini 30 for awhile, but I’ve never found one at what I consider to be an affordable price. I’m guessing the current market will keep me from finding a deal on one for awhile longer.
