I am thinking about buying a Ruger Mini 14 223 , is there any thing I should be looking for in this gun before I buy?

  Will the new Ranch models 223 also chamber the 5.56 NATO?

  All I know on my Mini14 all the brass takes a ding when getting kicked out. Also, the Ranch 196 when using the factory rings bthat spun the scope's reticle . Never did see a brass rub marks on the scope so perhaps it was all the chinging action beating up the scope. I do have a Buffer Tech Buffer but I guess that make no difference.
  
  After I went with the Ultimak Scout Scope Mount to save the scope.

  A Weaver 48644 or 302 or maybe a 48332 will fit.

  They usually shoot all over the place so you may be constantly adjusting the scope and getting P.O.

  I found the correct scope mount for a pre ranch mini 14. Now all I have to do is mount a scope and see if the ejected rounds are going to contact the scope. If that happens I will have to go another route.
  Thanks for the comments

  I use the Ultimak Scout Scope mount. Works good.
