You see a lot of Ruger Mini-14 types on TV, they appeared on
the A-Team because they cost half the price of a Colt AR 15.
Ruger P85 pistols also appear in many TV shows because they
cost less.

Ruger builds good guns, too bad Bill Ruger folded on the
magazine capacity bs, they quit selling 20 round Mini-14
magazines to civilians [they were in the price list at $8
back in the days] and Bill Ruger Sr. said "ban overt 15
rounds" and that acceptance "proved" that some number of
bullets in a magazine was evil, so they passed the 10 round
ban.
