| 46. Even the older pencil-barrel mini's don't kick much... |
|
although they will rotate a teeny bit more than an AR because the barrel sits higher relative to the contact point with your shoulder. There is definitely more reciprocating mass, but I don't know that it makes much difference in terms of felt recoil.
16" barreled AR's don't kick much, either, though I can't compare them to a 24" because I've never shot a long-barreled AR.
FWIW, a 16" barreled mini should be *slightly* more accurate than a longer barreled model, all else being equal. Make sure it has a flash suppressor, though (16" barreled .223's without flash suppressors are downright annoying to shoot because of the muzzle blast, to me).

The Ruger is not as accurate or reliable as a halfway decent AR. |

I would go with the AR. The Mini-14s usually aren't very accurate. |
