Sturm Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle 580-Series 5.56 NATO, Blued, Black Synthetic Stock (2016)
This 2016 Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle is a 580-series example featuring the series refresh with a heavier tapered, cold hammer-forged barrel and Ranch-pattern iron sights. It has integral scope-mount cuts on the receiver, a durable blued alloy-steel build, and a black synthetic stock with molded checkering. It is in very good overall condition with an excellent bore.
The rifle uses a semi-automatic action with a Garand-style rotating bolt and a fixed-piston gas system. The gas block is secured by four screws, and the barrel band includes a front sling swivel, with a rear sling swivel at the butt.
The 18-inch, non-threaded, tapered barrel is alloy steel and cold hammer-forged with a 1:9 RH twist. Sighting is fast and clear via a wing-protected blade front sight and a ghost-ring rear aperture sight. The receiver includes integral scope-mount cuts consistent with the Ranch Rifle configuration.
Dimensions are well-balanced for field use, with a 13.0-inch length of pull, 37.50-inch overall length, and 6.7-pound weight. The detachable box magazine system is set up here with a 5+1 capacity, and one 5-round steel magazine is included.
