Mini 14 for the reasons laid out above. Is there a reason that you have not looked at the AR system? I have been noticing the price on them have been dropping big time lately. I saw where CDNN in Tx has CMMG rifles for about 8 bills. Considering the price of mags for the AR vs the Mini 14, you come out ahead with an AR.
