Well I'm pretty much set and ready to purchase a Mini 14. The local gun shop has quite a few in stock. I'm completely torn between these two so I really need some opinions. Originally I wanted a wood stock blue barrel ranch model because of the vintage military look it gives off. Then I found out flash suppressors were not available on the newer ranch models. However they actually had the Davidson's Distributor Exclusive in Stock. But after owning this tactical 10-22 with black synthetic stock I will admit I do like the all black look as well. Can I get some opinions?
