RE: Ruger Mini 14
I bought my mini years ago, it is a stainless ranch model. I don' t expect it to shoot MOA, and anyone that does has an unrealistic set of expectiations. Frankly, I had an M-8 4x and took it off because I shot better with the irons. We have " target" matches shooting skeet on racks at 100 yards. By the time you are done with a session, the forearm is smoking so badly you can' t see the front sight. We shoot dozens of sessions a day. I would guess I have shot 10,000 rounds, all out of Cabelas 40 rd magazines. I have never had a malfunction. The mini is perfect for this kind of shooting, but if you think you are going to bring it to a match and do well, you are mistaken. Ruger makes great guns, some owners don' t understand the limitations.
