Well, im looking at getting a varmint shooter. I am not sure if i want a Bushmaster Varminter, or the Ruger Mini 14. Can you guys help me out?

Which gun is better in...
1. Reliability?
2. Accuracy?
3. Which would hold its value better?
4. Any other pros/cons of either gun?

Is the bushmaster worth the extra money?

Thanks for the help guys!!

  ...if you want to hit what your shooting at buy the Bushy.
  If what your shooting at is as big as a horse and no further away than 50 meters, you might try the Ruger.
  
  The Bushy is a nice rifle...and something the mini is not, accurate...[;)]

  depends, the ruger is no take driver but it is good enough for coyotes and such. Most guys do not have a ranch model. which is degined for plinking.
  
  Accuracy the bushy wins out time in and out.
  reliability that goes to the mini 14
  Pros of a mini is its ruggedness
  cons it is not a match shooter by no means
  bushy pros over a mini it is more accurate
  cons lots of springs and little pain in the ass parts one day you will replace.
