Recommendation on rifle

The place for beginners, or anyone else, to talk about gun, gear, and shooting topics with a minimum of jargon and/or geekery. The only stupid question is the one you don't ask that blows up in your face later.

I picked up several 20 rounders for the Mini-14 last December when Ruger was having a post-election sale. I don't know if they started making them again or just released some warehouse stock. Mine are marked "Law Enforcement Only".
I had them shipped to my "holding company" in Oregon. (My brother, in Oregon, "holds" all the stuff I can't have in California)

I would also recommend an SKS. Reliable, sturdy, "cheap", availability of ammo, reliable and fun to shoot.
If time, chance and random process can produce a platypus why not an ammo tree?

Yeah, I owned the Mini-30 before Ruger would sell higher than 10 round mags to folks. Even after the "ban". Ruger mags always work, but I wanted more than the hunter mags I had.
