The Mini-14, chambered for .223 Rem ammunition
has not been the most impressive rifle for accuracy
unless quite heavily upgraded. At 100 yards and
a five shot group - it seems all but guaranteed
that one shot at least will totally ruin a group!
Perhaps to state 4 MOA is being generous.
It is believed however that the latest Ruger offering
has improved matters and as a gun platform it is
most compact and is really just a carbine. It's
action is based on the Garand action and that is
most reliable - with rapid fire being very easy.
This example has always been a fun gun for most
part and additions were made regarding a barrel
heat shield and a simple muzzle brake. It is a lot
of fun. |
