My vote was for the Mini. After three years of carrying a Mini-14, that I accurized, on my tractor, at the farm, I have come to really like the Mini. It is tough and shoots well, once you work on it a bit. The one thing that sets it apart from the AR is that it will shoot anything you can get into the chamber, like the AK, but with a trigger job, unlike the AK, it has a decent trigger. I own several AR guns and have owned several AKs including an MK-90, own a M-1 carbine or two and a few military bolt guns. Now a light weight AR-10 in 260 would be very nice but my last 260 AR was not light and a big heavy rifle to carry around is not the answer for me. I have not built a piston AR yet so it might just be the cat's behind.
Thought this would be a fun topic just for S&Gs.
