I'll start by apologizing for starting this thread, but I haven't been able to come up with enough answers from the search feature.
I'll be buying a new Mini in the coming days. I've owned several Mini 14's and one Mini 30 over the years and have decided I want a Mini for my SHTF rifle. We live in the woods without very much open area and I don't know if barrel length will matter all that much.
If I go with the tactical model, I'll be buying one with a traditional stock, not the pistol grip as I just don't do well with pistol grips. I'll go with the synthetic stock whichever one I buy.
The Ranch Rifle is pretty handy and I like the ones I've had, but the 16.5" barrel has a certain appeal. I also like the flash hider.
So other than barrel length and factory flash hider is there anything gained one model over the other?
Thanks gentlemen.
