Right now as crazy as it is buying any semi auto 223 is at least $500 overpriced. I paid $599 for my mini-14 in 07 new. Its well worth $600 in my opinion. It has a strut and trigger job, shoots near moa and has never malfunctioned. Just like any other gun, some like em, some dont.

Bought mine for $700 new the day after the potus election...having to scrounge for mags and ammo now...

I haven't tried the bx-25 yet hopefully being that Ruger has their name on it it is reliable.

MAKE SURE they are steel feed lips and not that hot lips crap. The bx-25's are the only high capacity mags you should use. Very few companies, FEW, have ever made as good of a product as the bx-25

they have many on ebay at inflated prices....but....wow

check out the alangator tri mag...better than the bx-25 for range work imo. if you can find the 10 rounders...

Yeah I am starting to get worried I will never be able to get a bx-25 with Feinstien's bill. PLEASE tell me if you ever run across any!

i only have one bx-25 myself, as i just recently bought my 10/22 (RIGHT before the madness). it has been a great mag, no problems. wish i had ONE more, but ah well....

still, if you can find factory 10's, get the tri mag....it works great for quick reloads.

i did come across a few bx-25X2....but that mag holds no interest to me. looks like 2 bx-25's super glued together. for $60, i was willing to pass on that.

join the club...finding 223 at a reasonable price is starting to feel like a small lottery win!

i'm really really tired of it.

I saw two Mini 14's in recent ad papers called on one listed at $900 that extra magazines, gone the day the paper came out. The other Mini 14 was listed at $1400, I didn't check on it but I'll bet it didn't last long either.

Here Academy, Cabela's and Wal Mart are limiting ammo to customers at $8-10/box, or you go to a pawn shop and pay double the price.
