I have had three Mini-14s, and wish I had just one of them back. (doggone financial problems). A Ruger .22 auto pistol that my son has now. it was sent back to Sturm, Ruger after I bought it used, and they repaired it free of charge and shipped it back at their expense. Gotta love Ruger. I have a 10/22 right now that has a different stock and a Tasco 4X32 scope. It is a blast to shoot. All I can say is, Sturm, Ruger makes darn good guns.
