They did chamber the 222, some foreign countries don’t allow military chamberings.

I believe France, specifically.
At least for the .222 REM Mini-14.

If memory serves there was one in the classifieds here in the last couple years
I was thinking France but wasn’t sure, I saw one once at the Wanenmacher gun show in Tulsa years ago.

Yes. I believe it was France. I’ve only ever seen two them.
It's my understanding that in France you can't have a rifle that shoots the same round as their military and that is why they have the .222.

My only experinece with the Mini is my only ever Mini, 584 Series. Thing shoots lights out at 100-200yds, and that's all I ever expect from ANY of my rifles, so for me it is an equal to all my AR's, bolt guns, levers, etc...Cons are weight, expensive/rarity of Factory mags. Mine wears a Leupy 3x10x40 VariX3, couldn't be happier with it.

And are we comparing a $500 retail AR to a retail Mini, or a "deal" $500 AR to a Mini? Retail-to-retail I'd def say the AR.

Guys are grasping at straws to defend their poor mini's. I'd take one of these way before a schidt show shooting mini14:

I have one of those as well. I want all of my bases covered.
