Has anyone used this on a 583 series Mini 14 Ranch and what were the results?

You have to take a close look at the barrel of your rifle, the newer ones have a taper to the barrel and you will ned to order the one that fits that taper. The tapered barrel is supposed to cut down on the harmonic vibration that is present in the older straight barrel. I have the longer strut on my rifle snd it works fine. If you contact Ruger and give them your serial number the can tell you the manufacturer date.

I have mini14 bought this for it ,i have the 18 inch. Ordered the 6 inch., looks great will help the barrel to be stabalize and will reduce heat from the barrel , highly recommented ,no regrets... will look like m14

I have used it on my 580 Series, I haven't noticed much of a difference. It's a Mini-14... have fun with it.

I honestly have no experience with the older model mini 14's, but i took some measurements on mine that i hope will help. The Gas Block on a 580 series is 2.125 in. bottom to top. The barrel tapers down to a thickness of 0.624 in. where the barrel reaches 0.624 in, The gap between the barrel and the strut measures 0.284 in. I also measured the gap between the end of the strut and the bottom of my front sight(with no bayonet lug) and the gap measures in at 0.318 in. So i would say at minimum you have about a quarter of an inch of clearance. I would still consult someone who has experience with both the strut and the older 180 series mini 14's.

The kit worked great on my mtd tractor. I had to drill 1 hole to make it fit but other than that it works fine.

I'm pretty sure it will. I put it on a2011 Rancher. Should be the same for all ranchers 07-13. I doubler checked on warn's website before i bought mine. Installed everything with ease.

I have a 140 with a 9.9, the way its installed I dont think it gets a lot of stress regardless of seize. I hope you can make it work!

If you have mounts to mount it on that rifle it will work fine. There's no way it will get as much shock as it does riding on my Mini-14.

I'm not sure which stock you have, but I've used mine on a few different synthetic stocks and it's adhered really well, even when they weren't perfectly free of any oil. I'd be rather confident that it would stick to the Mini 14's stock unless the plastic is really different.

I have found it works good so far. I use it on a 223 bushmaster and 308 DPMS with no problems. Easy on and off also.

I actually put one of these on my mini 14 and yes it does block the iron sites. Quick release makes it easy to pull off but you still have to come off target to do that. I know there are mini 14 models that will shot the .223, 5.56, and the .308 rds. If you shot anything bigger than the .223, this scope will lose zero after a few rds. It's a good scope for a .117 or .22 cal. but for a mini there's a lot better out there.

newer model mini 14's have thicker barrels. Older mini's (ranch models) have thinner barrels. The accu-strut helps eliminate a lot of the barrel vibration that the thinner barrel mini's encounter. Also helps with heat transfer.

I don't actually have this on I have the 300x4 and ive put it threw some hell... I had 4 pioneer 6x9's 2 4-ways and 2 5-ways they hit so hard they had the mirrors on my truck shaking. then I put 2 rf p2 12's and it never over heated then ran those same 12's bridged all at 4 ohms and it never got to hot.. just make sure where ever you put it it has at least an inch above and beneath for some ventilation

This is an 18" combo bar and chain. You will have to also change the sprocket, but it should work. I have a 55 Rancher (not sure what a 455 Rancher is) and after changing the sprocket and with this new bar and chain, it works. I needed a new bar and went with the newer narrow kerf chain which I believe is safer from kickback. This new configuration will of course need the 72 link, .325 pitch replacement chains.

I think this should work fine on a mini 14 as long as you have a Picatinny rail or beavertail scope mountbut your front sight maybe in the way of the laser

I installed it in a Maverick 76, 302 small block engine. It works great, very easy to install. Big difference in performance compared against points distributor. So I assume that if you have an old 289 or 302 it will work

I haven't but I no longer use it, after I stripped a pedal screw with it. In my opinion the tool is not accurate and the scale is not precise enough if are going to work on carbon frame. The are better torque ranches for not much more on amazon.

Charles, I purchased this for a 308 platform. Mount was bent. Went to Burris XD rings. It's a better choice.

I used Rancho RS999921 and RS999937. They seem to do a good job at least much better than stock. Hope this helps.Dennis
