A quick look at the new Davidson’s Exclusive Ruger Mini-14 Tactical in 300 Blackout, featuring a stainless steel finish and Samson folding stock.
If all you want is a Mini-14 chambered for 300 AAC Blackout, Ruger already has you covered with the standard Mini-14 Tactical model. While very functional, the black synthetic furniture leaves something to be desired in the aesthetics department. For those in the market for a 300 BLK Mini-14 with a little more style, the new Davidson’s Exclusive variant is worth taking a look at.
The Davidson’s Exclusive variant of the Ruger Mini-14 Tactical in 300 BLK has all the same practical features as the standard model, including its 1/2×28 threaded 16.1-inch cold hammer-forged barrel, heat shield, protected blade front sight/ghost ring rear sight and front/rear sling swivels. The receiver also has integral scope mounts machined into it, and each rifle will ship with a set of 1-inch scope rings and a section of Picatinny rail for attaching optics. Where the Davidson’s Exclusive variant differs is its stainless steel finish and the inclusion of a stainless steel Samson side-folding stock. This stock isn’t just iconic and cool-looking, it also adds a greater level of versatility to the Mini-14 in terms of transportation and storage.
Paul Dickson, Sr. Merchandising Manager at Davidson’s, said this about the new Mini-14 variant:
Davidson’s is a decades-long partner with Ruger and we have made hundreds of exclusives with them … They have always been eager to partner with us on bringing unique firearms to the market over the years and we’re excited to introduce this one.
The Davidson’s Exclusive variant of the 300 BLK Ruger Mini-14 Tactical has an MSRP of $1,849 and each gun will ship with two 20-round Nickel Teflon steel magazines.
