    Are you talking about the Mini 14? If so, they came out about 35 years ago, so not quite new.

    I think he's talking about the Springfield M14 but that's been around since the late '50s.

    Had me worried for a second. Thought I had "borrowed" a new prototype about 30yrs ago and I sure didn't think about that kinda price. If it's the mini 14 the plain rifle is about everything you would need if you like the caliber.

    Ruger made some adjustments to the Mini 14 late last year (or maybe it was early this year, I forget). It involved some accurizing and other things to make it cost more. They are calling it the "Mini-14 Target Rifle." I think this is the "new" Mini-14 mentioned by Charlie.

    You can see it on Ruger's website here:

    http://www.ruger.com/Firearms/FAFami...ding&famlst=61

    It is also available with a Hogue Overmolded stock, seen here:

    You said in another post that you didn't read unless there were pictures, now I think I understand why.

    The new Mini-14 came out the end of last year, and is available in .223 ans .204 ( which is a .223 necked down to .20 caliber). It's a nice varmint round but not good for much else(the bullet jacket are too thin). I paid $175 for my first mini and $300 for my last mini. I can get a match barrel and trigger job on my Mini and still be less than a new Mini.

    Funny, I saw one of these at the local hunting store and thought it was just a regular Mini that someone sank a bunch of money and time into and had to trade in, so that's thier brand new gun? Looks like they're attemping to turn it into an overpriced range toy, doesn't even have iron sights.

    Oh and did I mention that it has been there for like a month in the "sporting/tactical" section while they can't keep any ARs or M1As or the like there for two hours before someone snatches them.

    Hey Charlie, all that is is a mini 14 with a tactical stock. I don't see the big deal about it.

    Best get all the new toys you can find. I don't own firearms that don't do what I want. I do believe my grandson at 20 knows more about them than most, but maybe the USMC isn't teaching him no more than his dear ole granpappy did. Best check your facts then put your mouth in gear. I only have over 55yrs of practice so maybe I need educated, thanks for explaining the error of my ways.

    If you were asking about the Ruger M14 20CF Tactical Rifle, you should have stated Ruger M14 20CF Tactical Rifle and not simply m14 in your first post.

    The specificity with which you phrase a question has alot to do with the nature of the responses you receive. "We boys" ain't "behind the times with guns" - you'se just ain't axin the right questions, that's awl. Readin' books, which you say you don't like to do, might help ya' a bit with that English stuff. Don't wanna' misread that there owner's manual and point that rifle in the wrong DIE-rection, do ya'? You been spendin' too much time in them deep Iowa woods?

    This is how the world is yes ? That's why our brains do what them brains do.

    You've been spending too much time in them lawyers papers.
    lol
    Actually, I spend alot more time in the courtroom. It's a great training ground for learning how to phrase a question in a manner which will elicit an appropriate response. And knowing what NOT to ask is even more important....

    If your questions are vague, rest assured that the responses you receive will be vague as well - and that's only if the vague question doesn't lead to a sustained objection before the witness can even answer.

    I've seen many a judge deny a lawyer's motion to have an answer stricken because the lawyer didn't ask the question properly in the first place.

    And Remy, it looks to me like several others read the question the same way I did. My first reaction was ??????
