As I have mentioned before I love spending time at the range. So I was considering purchasing a ruger mini-14 target rifle in a 223. I know some of the old mini-14 had some accuracy issues but I believe the target model has improved that greatly. I have def decided on the cal of a 223 but was wondering what everyone thought of this rifle. Its the one with the wood laminate thunbhole stock, stainless barrel and an adjustable harmonic dampner. Is it woth the money or does anyone have any other suggestions that I may want to take a look at. Thank you all for your time and input.
