Best Answer

The early model mini 14 was not designed for a scope. After market mounts and rings came out so a scope could be added, however the angle of ejection was not set for a scope so the brass would bang into the scope.

The Ranch rifle came with the scope mount as part of the receiver, and the ejection angle was changed to kick the brass lower and to the right more.

I had a couple of the early mini's and scoped one of them. I lived with the dinged brass, and just used full length resizing dies to reload it.

The Mini-14 is chambered in .223 and the Mini 30 is chambered in 7.62x39. Both come in the ranch rifle configuration.
