OK guys, I need some input/ideas/opinions on my next purchase. I put some money down on a Ruger Mini-14 5/P synthetic stock, stainless 16" bbl w/flashhider. I like the 2-20-rd capacity mags and the close defense to 100 yd capabilities of this rifle. I also like the fact that I can toss it in the trunk if I need to without worrying too much about scratches, and the fact it is easy to clean and maintain. I've read some good things about the Mini-14, but also that it isn't very accurate beyond 100 yds. I really don't need beyond 100 yds. anyway. I also want the Kel-Tec PLR-16 though, and I can change my deposit and apply to another choice up to the time of purchase. I would appreciate some thoughts from some of the experts in the room. If you had $675 to spend, what would be your choice in a .223 for HD/up to 100yd-range, to get the most use, enjoyment, and reliable use? All input appreciated! Thnx in advance!
