How suitable would this scope be for a Ruger Mini-30

If your looking for a low profile scope with log magnification then you'll like this on your Mini. Usually I see 3-9x scopes on the Minis I encounter.

Very suitable for that type of rifle. Anything between 25-200 yards. I use it on a FN SCAR 17S. Light weight, great optics. Worth the price.

As far as fit goes, this will work for that firearm. As for as features, a fill list is at this link: http://www.leupold.com/hunting-shooting/scopes/mark-ar-riflescopes/mark-ar-mod-1-1-5-4x20mm/

Since there are no mil dots I would not suggest it for long distances. I had it on my AR pistol and it was crazy accurate though.

It would be big and heavy on that gun. On the Mk III Ruger I prefer the UAG or BSA 4 reticle open type also available on Amazon at great prices.

I had this scope on my AR but did not like the look. It functioned fine but for close range more than was needed and not practical. If you only use your AR for longer ranges then I would be fine. Recoil not an issue.

I put this on my Ruger 10/22. For it to fit properly, I had to buy a low profile tactical rail ($8). Out to 30 yards, once sighted in (which is pretty easy), I can't miss! For me 30 yards with this is my limit. Any further, I suggest using a scope.

I would say the eye relief is ideal at 10-18 inches and it makes this scope a good choice for forward mounting on a rifle like an SKS or M1A. Scope is rather large for a pistol, it's almost the same size as a standard rifle scope.

You can use this scope to shoot generally out to 250 yards depending on your skill level. So it depends how far you want to shoot, how good your eyes are in low light (older shooters enjoy higher magnification), enjoyment level, and desired use.The weight isn't significant for me. It is a nice scope, and I think you'll enjoy it.

Scope choice is, of course, dependent on what you plan to do with your rifle. This scope would be a fine choice for hunting out to medium range (say, 350 yards) with a .30-06. It does not come with scope covers, however, Leupold, Butler Creek and others have many models suitable for this scope.

I can't comment on the 30mm swat. What I can say is that the 3-9 is not particularly set up for CQB. It is a magnifying rifle scope with all that it implies. Eye relief, alignment, mounting, target acquisition. I bought it with the intention of reaching out to a longer distance than I could with my holo sight but in the end I couldn't reliably hit a target @ 200 yds with the UTG while I could when I re-mounted my holo.

I'm quite happy with the eye relief and the scope in general. It's a great product for the price. I have it mounted on a Weatherby Vanguard Sub-MOA in .223, which will easily put three holes in the 10 ring from 100 yards that you can cover with a nickel.

Have not sighted in using this scope. Just used it to check out land. I would say, though @ 100 yards it would be ok. Hoping to use it this weekend or next to sight @ 100 & 200 yds.

It would be excellent for a 10/22. Good price for a quality scope. My only disappointment stemmed from the dim led optics. Very hard to see in Daylight and even cloudy/indoor conditions.

Not really. It will be a bit clearer but the one I have is perfect for my Ruger 10/22. I used it to squirell hunt last fall and it was right on. If u have the 10.00 then go for it. Hard to say money wise due to scope being so reasonable.

There are several things to consider. First, after doing some searching online, there seems a tendency for spent cases to occasionally eject upwards directly into a scope body from the ejection port. Second, the rings that came with your Mini 30 may be 1 inch rings. Only you would be able to tell. The tube diameter on this item is 30mm. Personally, I wouldn't mount any scope directly over an ejection port of any semi auto firearm.

you would have to get the proper mounts for it... that looks like a good scope! Enjoy

Short answer is, yes it will be fine and a great scope. Long answer.... I have it on an FNH FNAR .308 and it does great. I have fired a few hundred rounds through it for both hunting and target shooting. It has so far held zero, even with removal and replacement (I have QD rings). It is great bang for the buck. I have had far more expensive scopes I loved much less than this one. The FNAR is guaranteed to be Sub-MOA accurate and I have no problem achieving this with this scope. Maybe I'm Lucky, but I LOVE THIS SCOPE. Btw with the QD rings, I at most get a .25" shift straight down @ 100 yards and that is only because I was in a hurry and just threw it on. If I really pay attention and make sure I seat it back right, there is absolutely no shift.

That's up to your personal preference. Rick Utsler on youtube has suggestions for scope. Youtube this rifle.

I would suggest a 4x32-40 scope. I prefer a Swiss Arms (only $28) or a Leapers ($35-45).
