The Ruger Mini-14® Tactical Model 5847 is a compact 5.56 NATO / .223 Remington semi-automatic rifle built for fast handling, rugged reliability, and versatile performance. Featuring a 16.12-inch cold hammer-forged barrel, factory-installed flash suppressor, 20-round capacity, black synthetic stock, and Ruger's proven Garand-style fixed-piston operating system, the Mini-14 Tactical delivers dependable performance in a lightweight platform ideal for recreational shooting, ranch use, training, and personal defense.
At the core of Model 5847 is Ruger's fixed-piston, self-cleaning gas system with a Garand-style rotating bolt. This proven operating system is engineered to provide reliable cycling while minimizing fouling and reducing maintenance requirements under demanding conditions.
The rifle features a 16.12-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 and is equipped with a 1/2"-28 threaded muzzle fitted with a factory flash suppressor, making it compatible with many standard 5.56 muzzle devices.
Model 5847 is built on a blued alloy steel receiver paired with a durable black synthetic stock featuring integral sling swivel studs. Measuring 36.75 inches overall and weighing just 6.7 pounds, the rifle offers excellent maneuverability while maintaining the rugged construction the Mini-14 is known for.
For sights, Ruger equips the Tactical model with a protected blade front sight and an adjustable ghost ring aperture rear sight, providing rapid target acquisition and dependable accuracy. The receiver includes integral scope bases, and Ruger supplies a set of scope rings for easy optic installation. A factory Picatinny rail is also included for mounting optics.
The rifle ships with two Ruger factory 20-round magazines and utilizes the traditional cross-bolt manual safety located at the front of the trigger guard. Ruger factory magazines are widely regarded as the most reliable feeding option for the Mini-14 platform.
Combining a short tactical barrel, threaded muzzle with flash suppressor, lightweight synthetic stock, integral optics mounting, and Ruger's legendary Mini-14 operating system, the Ruger Mini-14 Tactical Model 5847 is an outstanding choice for shooters seeking a dependable, American-made semi-automatic rifle.
