hmmmm?? what??? what tree did you fall out of?? Im not bashing the mini-14 i have one and love it I would never get rid of it. its a sweet handling gun and i just love the look of them and the fact the sights are where they are supposed to be, not 2 inches above the barrel like a AR-15. But..... the accuracy falls somewhere between OK and poor even with specially tuned handloads and optics added to it my best groups fair about what you see in my picture on page one of this thread about 2 to 3 inch groups at 100 to 150 yards. compared to any of my bolt actions this is absolutely horrible accuracy but for semi auto its ok because there are other semi autos out there that are alot more accurate, even as ugly as the ar-15 its a ton more accurate out of the box then and other semi auto on the market.

I have to ask where did you hear that the mini-14 is one of the most accurate on the market?? did maybe you confuse the mini-14 with a M1A or a M-14???
