Ruger - Mini 30 Question

[Hunting the North]

Anyone own one of these? Just curious on how accurate this firearm is, how does the 7.62 x 39mm round perform on deer, and how do you like this rifle in general.

[Ridge Runner]

performs just like a 30/30, 150 yard deer gun at max, accuracy in a standard mini-30 sux pond scum, thats why mine is now a 6mm PPC.
sux pond scum= 4-6" groups at 100 yards

The round does good on deer when useing hunting ammo, like Ridge Runner said, 150 to 200yds max, unfortunatly, I had "should have never sold it, one of those deals when afterwards you feel like kicking your own but"an AK that will outshoot the olderRuger, Im not sure on the new style yet, maybe someone who has gotten one of them can let us know how they are doing.
