Hey Cowmilker,
I have had some hardcore firearms training, SEAL Team 3 94-98, and I would not hunt big game with anything less than a .30 cal gun, IE 308, 30.06 and so forth. You want the power and energy to be able to cleanly take down big game and not wound them. A 7mm is a little smaller but very powerful and a good hunting gun. The Ruger mini 14 is a fun gun but it is not accurate or reliable. These are just my opionions taken from training and experience.
