I have NO connection to this rifle. But the price is very right.

I'm gonna say this... $630.. aint bad, even $750.00 for a new one is a good price in my opinion.
Think about it, Ruger packs more crap for the Mini 14 than most manufactures do for their rifles. But lets do the math:
Got a Ruger Mini 14 from Buds gun shop for $741.00:
https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog...719019687/RUGER+MINI-14+TACT+5.56+16.2+20R+WD
Now that comes with two 20 round ruger mags at $34.00 each:
https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1366165411/ruger-magazine-ruger-mini-14-223-remington-steel-blue
also includes Ruger scope rings at $35.00 each:
RUGER 1" SCOPE RING | Brownells
They throw in a rail along with it that cost around $20.00, and a cheap $10.00 sling. All of that added up, and you get $168.00. Now subtract that from $741.00 and you got a $573.00 rifle. Ole boy only wants $630 for the whole set up, so you are actually getting a $472.00 Mini 14. Ruger doesn't even pack mags for their AR15 and most manufactures sell their AR's without iron sights. When I got my Mini 14 back in 1997 it was $400.00, but I only got one 5 round magazine. The prices are not that bad for what you get.

Im looking to sell my 586 series ranch in mint condition. mo reaper muzzle brake-no stock sight, harris bipod, chaote handguard (original as well), sling and topped with Konus 50X scope. Offers over $600 considered.
I agree.
Plus...when comparing that ($741) gun to the one in question, you're not only getting an additional 20-Rd mag, you're getting a lot more gun for your money anyway...not to mention that ya know for sure that the new one hasn't already been fired 300 times using "who knows what kind of ammo", and/or tinkered with "by who knows who".
Or to put it another way...everything considered, the price of the gun in question would have to drop by another $100 or so before I'd even think about buying it instead of buying a for-real NIB gun from a reputable dealer.
But that's just me and how I look at it...
No offense to the OP (or anyone else) intended.

The CMP web site is a pretty honest and straight up site. Not that there can't be thieves but the odds are small. I already have too many rifles with 3 of them Mini 14's. If I were just getting started I'd be tempted. Heck, I'm still tempted. I have 5 AR's that haven't had a bullet put through them for 2 years but I have over 700 in my Mini.

Just speaking for myself, I was NOT implying that it wasn't. Controversially though, I WAS implying that I believe Buds Gun Shop to be a reputable dealer.
