The Ruger Mini-14® Ranch Rifle Model 5802 is a dependable 5.56 NATO / .223 Remington semi-automatic rifle built for shooters who value traditional styling, rugged reliability, and all-weather durability. Featuring an 18.50-inch cold hammer-forged barrel, 5-round capacity, matte stainless-steel construction, hardwood stock, and Ruger's proven Garand-style fixed-piston operating system, the Mini-14 Ranch Rifle 5802 is an excellent choice for hunting, ranch work, recreational shooting, and general-purpose field use.
At the heart of Model 5802 is Ruger's fixed-piston, self-cleaning gas system paired with a Garand-style rotating bolt. This proven operating system provides reliable cycling while minimizing fouling and reducing maintenance, making the Mini-14 platform one of the most trusted semi-automatic rifle designs available.
The rifle features an 18.50-inch cold hammer-forged barrel chambered in 5.56 NATO, allowing it to safely fire both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington ammunition. The barrel utilizes a 1:9" right-hand twist, making it suitable for a broad range of common bullet weights. Unlike Tactical models, the Ranch Rifle features a non-threaded muzzle for a traditional sporting configuration.
Model 5802 is constructed with a matte stainless-steel receiver and barrel paired with an attractive hardwood stock. This combination provides excellent corrosion resistance while maintaining the classic appearance of a traditional sporting rifle. At 7.0 pounds and 38 inches overall, the rifle offers excellent balance and comfortable handling in the field.
As a Ranch Rifle, Model 5802 includes integral scope bases machined directly into the receiver, and Ruger includes a set of scope rings for immediate optic installation. The rifle also features a protected blade front sight and an adjustable ghost ring aperture rear sight, providing fast target acquisition and dependable accuracy whether using iron sights or optics.
The rifle ships with two Ruger factory 5-round magazines and utilizes a traditional cross-bolt manual safety positioned at the front of the trigger guard. Ruger factory magazines are specifically engineered for the Mini-14 platform and are widely recognized for their reliability and durability.
Combining matte stainless-steel construction, a classic hardwood stock, integral optics mounting, and Ruger's legendary Mini-14 operating system, the Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle Model 5802 is an outstanding American-made rifle built for years of dependable service.
