Feel like buying a rifle near me and can’t decide

[matttahoe53]

Both of the below firearms are for sale near me and am considering getting one. Thoughts on which one? Ask me any questions. Maybe the answer is neither makes sense.

Descriptions below

583 series Ruger Mini 14, in very good condition, round count around 1500.

1 new Choate folding stock ( shown ) with bottom rail and magpul vfg, single point sling

1 Hogue gillie tan overmold stock with bottom rail, bipod, and leather sling

1 Butler Creek folding stock with SS trigger metal

Accuracy systems trigger job,, 3lb

Trueshot Technologies barrel stabilizer

Trueshot Technologies Avenger 4 front sight

over 1500.00 in it, selling all as a package for 900.00 firm.

Or

$1500 Selling my Arsenal SAM7R. The rifle was sighted in and put away, less than a magazine through this rifle. Sights are straight, action is buttery smooth. Comes with a 5 round magazine.

Easy….Mini 14.

Then, take the $600 you’re not spending on the Arsenal and buy ammo.

Why are you buying? You trying to get a good self-defense rifle? Or just buying a toy?

Either really, I have defensive rifles so this isn’t a “need”.

Kinda where I’m leaning, I’ve had a couple 180 series mini 14s and would go with my 580 mini 30. Plus accuracy systems is less than an hour away if I want more custom work.

Do you have an AK already? The Sam is a Lotta rifle.

 

[Tailhunter]

Sam all day long.

 

[Timfoilhat]

Mini14

From digitalpaladin, yes, and they are great

 

[alpharius]

AK.

I don't care about the mods on the mini. The AK is new and seems like a better deal. Plus Biden could ban Bulgarian imports with the stroke of a pen tomorrow.

Ask forgiveness, not permission… buy ‘em both!

Ask forgiveness, not permission… buy ‘em both!

THIS! Seems like the only reasonable solution, honestly.....

Showed this to my wife and she laughed, “why would you need my permission to buy more guns?”
