Mini 30

I do not own one, but wondered if it's 308 capable.
Honestly a random thought, but curious.

No it's not the same. 7.62x39 is smaller than .308

 

[DaveTN]

No, But this Mini will.

Ruger advertised a 308 mini14 style rifle. It was the XGI and was going to be chambered in 308 and 243. It was in their catalog, but never went in to full production.

What I think about when someone mentions a Ruger mini

 

[348Winchester]

The reason it's called the Mini-14/30 is that it's a miniture version of the M-14 which is a .308.

Right. That's why I asked.

Right. That's why I asked.

It would have to be scaled up to handle the pressures of a 308 Winchester which is higher than that of a 223 0r 7.62x39.
