i own a mini 14 and my uncle has a stainless steel one they both are semi auto ranch rifles with big scopes and i have great accuracy with them i never heard of them not being accurate i shot a deer 150 yards running one shot they work great and if you put a nice scope on it the gun can be great i love the gun and i think it is better then a AR and they are realy nice if you get a cheak rest and a stainless steel clip

good luck 14's rock thats all i'm saying
