Forget the Ruger Mini 14, as it has a two stage trigger pull, and you must keep your trigger elbow up (if right-handed shooty shooter, then shooter must have right elbow up)...left is left...savy? The Ruger Mini-14 SUCKS/TOO MANY RULES.... and is a pain in a dead deer's ass to shooty, should you forget it's marksmanship requirements!... If you shooty all kinds of cool rifles/boomsticks and a 30-30 Marlin ain't your cup of tea (not a big enough shooty) then score (get/steal, or buy) a Ruger carbine semi-auto 44 mag. It will give you many years of dead deer heads in heavy brush at close range.
