CM,
Given what you've said, I'd vote for a Mini-14. Be prepared to spend a little time and a few $$'s to get it to shoot accurately. You can find so much good info on this site to help you do that for not too many $$'s.
Now your choice is Ranch or Regular, Stainless or Blue, Wood or Synthetic stock.
I love my Mini, but its been in the safe for much of its life with me because it was too inaccurate. Now, with help from this forum, I'm fixing all that. Installed a BW mb, getting a trigger job, going to install a new gas block, and I'm going to bed the stock. If that doesn't help it, I don't know what I'll do. But from the testimonies I've seen here, it does wonders for the accuracy.
Let us know what you decide.
