Ruger Mini-30
The Ruger Mini-30 was introduced in 1987 to used the 7.62x39 (AK47) round. The Mini-14 was a popular hunting rifle but sometimes the .223 Remington/5.56mm round was not approved for hunting, thus the Mini-30 was developed so that hunters could use a 'legal' .30 caliber round. Like the Mini-14, the Mini-30 is not particularly accurate for precise hunting shots, and is used primarily as a utility 'varmint' gun. Essentially identical to the Mini-14, it only differs in the fact that it is chambered in 7.62x39mm. The relative barrel thickness and fatter, more dynamically curved high-capacity magazines are the easiest way to tell them apart.
