Ruger Mini-14 Ranch 5817 5.56 NATO 18.5" Matte Stainless

Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle

The Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle stands as a testament to reliability and precision, embodying the principles of rugged simplicity. Engineered with a Garand-style action, this autoloading rifle features a breechbolt locking system paired with a fixed-piston gas mechanism that includes a self-cleaning moving gas cylinder. This design ensures unparalleled dependability even in the most demanding conditions.

At its core lies an 18.50-inch barrel, crafted through cold hammer forging to deliver exceptional rifling accuracy and longevity while simplifying maintenance. Chambered for both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington cartridges, this rifle offers versatility in ammunition selection without sacrificing performance.

The receiver is constructed from solid stainless steel with patented integral scope mounts machined directly onto it—eliminating potential weaknesses found in traditional mounting systems. It comes equipped with scope rings and is drilled and tapped to accommodate the included Picatinny rail, ensuring stable optics attachment for precise targeting.

Sighting is facilitated by an accurate ghost ring adjustable rear aperture sight coupled with a non-glare protected blade front sight, allowing quick target acquisition under various lighting conditions.
