[QUOTE="Peace_Maker, post: 719452, member: 2164"] My opinion is well known but I'll be nice. Reasons to buy a mini. 1. Possibly more reliable due to Garand action. 2. Usually costs less than an AR (depends on AR) 3. Wood Stock 4. To some people it is less threatening (Zumbo effect, really stupid IMO) Reasons to buy AR 1. WAY MORE ACCURATE! 2. Magazines are reliable, cheap, and plentiful. 3. Accessories and sight mounting. 4. Excellent ergonomics. (if a righty)(Garand put safety in a stupid place) 5. Very easy to disassembly and clean. 6. Modular (can change uppers and lowers to many different configs) 7. More popular (parts are everywhere and interchangeable) If your going to buy a .223 it is hard to go wrong with an AR. I still prefer the 7.62's (Garands and M14's to the .223's) but I realize ammo costs more and is heaver. I just choose to shoot less. I truthfully see no reason to own a Mini-14. Buy a quality AR and maintain it properly and it will run just as good as a mini and will be twice as accurate. [/QUOTE]
