| 60. The AR is the more versatile choice |
|
In addition to the .22 conversion that you already own, AR uppers can be had for most pistol calibers and just about every rifle caliber. The AR will be more accurate and easier to shoot than the Mini-14, and retain more of its value should you decide to sell it. In addition, if you shop around, you should be able to find a comparably equipped AR for not much more than what your dealer is asking for the Mini-14.

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. |
