Best Folding Stock:
ATI Ruger Mini-14 Strikeforce Stock

Folding stocks are probably the best types of stocks for a few good reasons. Not only are they easy to use and adjust, but they're also really compact and can fit without taking up too much space. Bestowed the honor of "best folding stock", we'll next take a look at the ATI Ruger Mini-14 Strikeforce Stock.

So why is this the best folding stock? Well, this comes with six adjustable positions, which means that you can adjust this to pretty much any position you see as more comfortable. If you're a short-statured shooter, there's an adjustment for you. If you're big and tall, same deal. Just find the adjustment that fits you best and you're good to go.

Plus, if you fancy yourself to be a fan of the Picatinny rail, this also has four forward Picatinny rail locations. So if you have any accessories that can best fit this style of rail, you'll rejoice in knowing that you can use them.

If you plan on attaching a sling to your Mini 14 rifle, there’s a handy little attachment that you can use to add on a sling. So if you’re looking to carry your rifle for a long day of hunting, then you should probably get a sling that will work quite well with a product like this.

The material on this item is high-quality polymer. More specifically, this is the glass-reinforced polymer developed by DuPont. If you know DuPont, you know that pretty much everything they make has a quality considered second to none.

Bottom Line

If you're one of the many shooters that wants a folding stock, you'll probably want to give this one a further look.

One of the things that impressed us is that the polymer they've used is indeed one of the strongest types around. It should come as no surprise that it's developed by the same company that brought us bulletproof vests and the material which gives them an unrivaled stopping power against numerous rounds. 

Aside from that, you'll have an adjustable position that's made for you, which means you'll never have to struggle with a rifle that has a fixed stock. And we know how much of a struggle that can be.

The last thing you’ll want to do in a situation like a self-defense situation is to lose control of your gun due to recoil. Not to mention, that will also put you in a very dangerous situation.

Another reason this is best for tactical situations is the number of adjustable features you have. This includes the entire buttstock itself and the cheek riser.

Before putting it to good use, it's important to set it to the adjustments that best fit you. Just adjust it and forget it. Then you can use it for just about any other purpose other than home defense or tactical.

Best Wood Stock:
Boyds Ruger Mini 14 Left Hand Stock

We get it, there are those who consider themselves aficionados of the classic wood stock. Don't worry, we're not going to point and laugh at you. Sometimes, you just want to give your rifle a classic wooden look.

Well, if you're one of those who loves wood stocks above all else, the Boyd's Ruger Mini 14 Left Hand Stock is probably what you'll want to have. But here's what really shocked us about this wood stock in particular, it has a finish that is formulated to resist any kind of chemical damage. Could it be that this is a wooden stock with all the damage resistance of a synthetic stock? Probably so.

So you're looking at a wooden stock that will rival all the other synthetic stocks in terms of longevity. We'll give you a second to pick up your jaw off the floor. This is designed to give you the best stability while you're holding onto your rifle. This, of course, will allow you to shoot accurate, more precise shots no matter which purpose you use it for.

Bottom Line

We don’t know what to say other than what we already know about this wooden stock. We’re still speechless at the fact that this can resist all kinds of water damage that would otherwise destroy all other wood stocks.

Not to mention, this is perhaps the best choice if you hold aesthetics to a higher standard. There’s nothing more beautiful than looking at a rifle that looks decades old, except for you to have installed a new stock to give it that look.

If you hold a deep appreciation for a wood stock, then Boyd’s might be the best possible choice for you.

Best From Hogue:
 Hogue - Ruger Mini-14 Stock Sporter

For our final review, we’ll be taking a look at the best from the Hogue brand. This is an over-molded kind of stock, which means you’ll have perhaps the best possible overall grip.

So if you want a stock that will give you complete control and a strong grip while it’s raining cats and dogs or while your hands are sweating, this is guaranteed to allow you retain control of your rifle.

Other than giving you a better grip, you’re guaranteed to get the best possible comfort while you’re holding your rifle in the firing position.

All in all, this stock will give you comfort, grip, and an even lesser amount of felt recoil. Once you’ve installed this puppy on your rifle, there probably won’t be another Mini 14 stock that can touch it.

Bottom Line

If you're looking for a stock that can reduce the amount of felt recoil considerably, then the Hogue Mini 14 stock might be exactly what you're looking for.

Not only is it very comfortable, but it's also great to use if you're in wet weather conditions. Especially when you want something that will give you an extra firm grip so you don't drop your gun on the ground due to slippage.

8. Tapco Ruger Mini 14/30 Fusion Collapsible Rifle System

Now, we’ll be taking a look at the product we believe is the best for the money. In other words, this is a stock that we know will fit most budgets. If you’re among the handful of budget shoppers looking for a great Mini 14 stock, you’ll want to feast your eyes on this one.

One of the features that sticks out with this product is the ability to adjust to six different positions, which means that this can fit almost any shooter and give them the best reach possible. They will no longer have to struggle with the possibility of trying to get a “one size fits all” stock to work with them.

The Tapco is made from synthetic materials, which means it can absorb shock and deal with a lot of elements that can otherwise cause damage to a plain ol’ wooden option.

We’re not finished yet. Because there’s also another impressive feature that we have yet to unveil. If you have ever wondered if there is such a place to keep any additional accessories or cleaning supplies, you’re going to love the built-in compartment that’s included in this stock.

Whether you’re out in the field or out on the range, you’ll want to have something handy without ever having to make a trip back home or to your vehicle. Just store what you need in the compartment and take it out when you need it.

If you’re looking for a Mini 14 stock that can take on the damage, give you the best comfort possible, and will fit almost every shooter, then the Tapco Ruger Mini stock will definitely be your go-to choice.

Bottom Line

For a budget product, you won't find anything quite like this for a Mini 14. The Tapco stock is one of those items available at an affordable price but with features that make it much more than what it's worth.

The fact that you can adjust this to a more comfortable position is one of the many reasons this is probably the one to go with, even if you do have money to play around with. Plus, you'll have this installed in minutes and have it ready to go at the range or for a quick day of hunting.

Regardless of whether you're on a budget or have just enough money to buy an expensive stock, you'd be insane not to give this an even further look. You'd be surprised at the way some budget stocks shine when pitted against the higher end brands.
