Mini 14 / scope?
« on: March 12, 2025, 08:44:33 PM »
Anyone ever run a scope on a mini 14?
Was thinking of mounting a Leoupold 2x7 on my mini and was wondering if there would be a problem with empties hitting the scope.
This thing really slings the empties, sometimes like 15 to 20 feet.

Accuracy international can put a pic rail on it for you
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

I have 2 minis (30,14) both with Leupold 1-6x20 scopes and have zero issues with them.

I don’t know what accessories are available for mini’s, but I bought an Ultimak picatinny fore arm for my M1 carbine and mounted a red dot. No mods necessary and works great.

Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.

If its a Ranch rifle, no problem as long as you keep the objective around 32-34 mm with factory rings.

The rail from Midway looks pretty good. I might try it.

Thanks
