I wonder how much bigger a Ruger Mini-308 would be from the Mini Thirty .....
Seems like my Springfield M1a 308 is Yuuuge compared to the Ruger 7.62x39

They make a 16" 308 but why??? I guess igniting your surroundings could help maybe.

I'm waiting for 6mm which is very doable.

I just ended up buying a new Mini 14 Ranch Rifle. Any local retailers who had used Mini 14's wanted almost as much for them as a new in box gun and the private party sellers were offering guns that had been monkeyed with or modified to make them tacticool.
While I generally feel that older productions guns like Rugers, Smith & Wessons and Colts are made better, from what I understand the newest Mini 14's have the accuracy issues that hampered the older guns addressed so I'd rather spend a few hundred extra than to attempt to modify or tune an older, used gun.

Ruger tried a mini GI back in the early 90's. 308 and 243. I saw one at the shot show that year. Didn't pan out. Accuracy was worse than Mini 14.

I remember a little more about it. Was going to be called X-GI. Would use M 14 mags.

One last thing. I was wrong about the dates. Advertised in 1984 - 1986

They should call it the Maxi 30.

Ohhh man..... too bad they didn't make the X-GI work......That would be awesome to have them in 308 & 243
Probably easier to win F Class with an AK

I always loved Ruger's Mini's but getting a good one I guess can be a real gamble.
There use to be a cottage industry of folks accurizing and also producing parts to improve the accuracy of Mini 14s.
Not sure if any of them are still around or how effective their work or products were.
From a cost standpoint ARs are much cheaper to get an accurate rifle out of the box, I think.

Reading through several of the postings I was not left with a warm and fuzzy feeling.

Ruger sold one at auction several yrs back. Best I remember brot mabe $10k. In mid 80's I had the hots for one. Rednecks in jack-uppd 4wd's, chasing deer with halfbreeds, shooting at deer running across clearcuts. Those were some good times!!!
