Brownells makes it very easy for any shooter, experienced or not, to convert his Ruger Mini-14 into a tricked-out rifle that meets your exacting wants and needs. The first step in this customization process is to determine what I am going to use the rifle for. Foremost, I wanted this rifle for varmint hunting, particularly night-time hunting. My secondary use is for self-defense purposes at home.

good article about the Ruger Mini 14, but by the time you buy the weapon for about $699 (cheapest I've seen) and then do all the mods, you are better off buying an AR type from the get go.
