I have owned and shot both the Mini-14 and the AR-15 rifles for many years and, though I like them both, if I had to choose one, for most of my purposes it would be the little Ruger. That said, there is one important (to me) caveat: Because I compete in Service Rifle matches, the AR-15 is the only rifle suitable in this venue.
