The Ruger XGI was a semi-automatic rifle chambered in .308 Winchester or .243 Winchester.[3] The XGI's function and aesthetics were influenced by the Ruger Mini-14, only sized up to the larger, more powerful .308 and .243 calibers.[4] The rifle was advertised in the 1980s but never entered production.
