I know that the ruger mini 14 is a 223 semi auto. Do they or anyone make a bigger caliber rifle that functions and looks like the mini 14
Bigger caliber???

The Ruger Mini 30 is a 7.62x39mm and look like the Mini 14.

The unMini 14. I don't know why the marketing people didn't pick up on that name. Seams obvious now.

Mini-30. Great rifle. Fun and cheap to shoot and deadly on packs of feral pigs.

Besides what was mentioned above Ruger did make the Deerfield version of the Mini series in 44Mag. Hard to find and expensive.

The Mini-30 as others have mentioned, is available in 7.62x39mm, and there are still some Mini-6.8's around on the used market.
If a guy wan'ts a proper rifle which looks like a Mini-14, the M-1A is the far better option... in service known as the M-14, hence the Mini-14...

Too bad Ruger didn't get the X-GI to fly. That would have been sweet with all the .308 based cartridges.
Ruger makes the Mini-14 in a 300 BLK. https://ruger.com/products/mini14TacticalRifle/specSheets/5864.html

Ruger makes the Mini-30 (7.62x39) and a Mini in 300 BLK. They also used to make a 6.8 SPC Mini.
Some guy also made a .450 Bushmaster Mini, but it was a custom job and I don't think he made any more.

An M1A rebarreled ro 358 Win!!! Now we’re talking! Someone do that then invite me to shoot it!
As a note, the M1 Garand was the original. The M1A is a smaller version shooting the .308
/NATO round. The M1 carbine we won’t mention but fits in right here. The Mini14 is Ruger’s take on this family of rifles. You can see the resemblance when compared to each other. I’d like to see this story explained more fully...I’d read it. But that kind of gives you a little info. The Mini30 May be what you’re looking for.
