What is Better: Mosin Nagant 91/30 or Ruger Mini-14?
I was looking for a target/plinking rifle that could double as a small-medium game rifle. I came across these two guns:
The Mosin Nagant 91/30 (7.62x54R)
The Ruger Mini-14 *Wood* (.223 Remmington)
Any recommendations on which one i should get.
The Mini-14 is ~$800 and the Mosin Nagant is ~$200
I would put a classic WWII scope on the Mosin Nagant
And i would put a scope mount, bipod, and Leopold scope on the Mini-14.
*response*- well, i live in California.
So an AR-15 is out of the question.
and i was looking into probably getting one of these now:
Ruger Mini-14
Ruger Mini-30
Springfield M1A (M14 Match)
Ruger 10/22
I would like to stay under $1,000 and recoil is no issue to me, I have shot many calibers, i own a Ruger Hawkeye 30-06.
It must be good for target shooting/plinking, hunting game is not really an interest anymore (with this new gun)
It actually depends on a few factors actually,
The mosin is a lot cheaper to shoot, and surplus ammo can be had very many places. The 91/30 is a bit long however, and the recoil is a lot diffrent than a .223. (however, its not very bad, comparable to a 308 or 30-06, so don't let the horror stories deter you.). Depending on your area, ammo for the .223 can be fairly difficult to find right now (though mail-order should be okay (try ammoengine.com)).
The Ruger Mini is a great rifle too, and REALLY there's no comparison. the Ruger is the way to go. Also look into the Ruger Mini-30. Its a 7.62x39 (same as a SKS or AK-47) and ammo can still be had on the cheap.
And $200 is to much for a Mosin 91/30. Most places you can get them for $75-$100. a Mosin carbine M38 (same caliber) should cost about that Much.
but the real anwser is, why not buy both?
