Is this a good price on a Ruger Mini-14?

bgglock · September 23rd, 2009, 11:13 AM

I am interested in a new Mini-14/20CF. It is the model with the collapsible & folding stock with the accessory rails and Ruger rings. Check it out in the link below. My local gun shop gave me a price of $630.00. I gave them my name & number to call when they get one in.

Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifles & Mini Thirty Rifles*Autoloading*Rifle (M-14/20CF) Overview

Is this a fair price? I really like the compactness of this model and I think it would make a great "take it anywhere" defense rifle. It could fold up and fit nicely under the back seat of my truck.

I have an older style model Mini 14 (stainless, not a ranch rifle) with its original stock and a Tapco collapsible stock that I will be trading. I haven't got a trade in price yet on my old Mini-14. What price should I be looking to get on my old Mini-14? $500.00? More? Less? I am looking to try to sell my old Mini-14 at the Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot coming up the weekend of October 9, 10, & 11. By the way, I already have 2 AR-15s and an M1A Scout Rifle. This new Mini 14 would simply replace my old one.

Any input will be greatly appreciated!

I've been keeping an eye on mini-14's, and I'd say that's a good price.

If you want to compare prices, take a look here

Ruger Mini 14s aren't gonna' get any cheaper. Trying to save $25-50 for a yet unlocated "bargain" could cost you the opportunity to get this one. Sounds fair to me. You shouldn't have any trouble getting $500 for your old one. See you at Knob Creek.

I purchased that exact same model mini when it came out 3 or 4 months ago. That is a pretty good price. I purchased mine around $700, but it's well worth it.

I added a 1911 style buffer and I can stay in a 6" circle with my zero mag red dot at 100 yards and less than 2" groups at 50 yards.

Highly recommended.
