See GymRatz for the best price. No brainer.
$835.00 plus tax, would have to order it in though.

Damn Mini 14 is expensive anywhere you go. Never understood why
You are correct sir - more money than an AR, and some say not as accurate or modular. I understand all of this but still want one
[EDIT - more money than certain AR's]

Dad got one on a steal a few years ago. Like new with a Leupold scope for 500. I'd like one too, like you I know it's not as modular blah blah but I still like them
Here's another thing to think about; if you want a decent M1 Carbine, you will pay as much and probably more than a Ruger Mini-14. And the 30 Carbine caliber is not as capable as 5.56 NATO.

Same here. There are quite a few other guns I would like to buy before getting one, but if I was handed a couple million dollars I would buy one with a wooden stock. I just want one. Not sure if the accuracy is so bad anymore but they definitely are less modular.

Being an 80's child, the A-Team had a big influence on that....
Not to mention Die Hard and the AUG
I will also consider any used Mini-14's as well, the tactical threaded barrel, stainless or blue, is a second choice to the one in the OP. That being said - I for one am happy with the offers I am seeing.
These prices may be out of date by now ...

Judge not this race .....
Love my new Mini 14. I have the tactical version, and love it!
-They are not as accurate as an AR, confirmed.
-The rear sight is "klugy" at best, but you can get Tech Sites for them!!!!!
-The Tapco mags work great!!!!

Yup. I’ve always wanted on with a wood stock but balked at the price vis a vis an AR15.

A mini-14 can land all rounds in an 8" circle at 100 yds with iron sights offhand. An AR can do 4" under the same conditions.
In either case, they are accurate enough for a 10" steel gong, or other similarly sized targets.

I think there's a belief amongst some that every rifle is capable of 1 moa and everything less is a failure. I don't hold to that theory but I've seen a lot of rifles called inaccurate when they couldn't meet wildly unrealistic standards.

I got my Mini-14 about 10 years ago, used, for $500 bucks. It was well worth it. Shoots great, but has one really odd characteristic. It throws the ejected brass about 20 feet back and to my left. Consistently.
