Absolutely! In fact, in 2005 Ruger introduced the new and improved 580-series Mini-14 and the 581-series Mini-30. Both are the result of a Ruger program to improve these carbines via new CNC processes which result in tighter tolerances. Reviews of the new rifles are validating that they are better than ever. With somewhere around 750,000 commercial Minis produced for US consumers (and many more government and law enforcement models distributed world-wide), the handy, extremely reliable Mini-14/Mini-30 platform remains very propular for general plinking, hunting small game (up to medium-sized deer), and self-defense.
