RE: mini 14 vs. mini 30
 

Well when i shot cheap 7.62.39 i expect to hit something & my sks fires everytime& does. And cost me 100 bucks per rifles(some a lill more some even less)
Otherwise why not thow firecrackers for noise& flying dirt?:D;)

It was about the diameter of the barrels- sks etc being made to shoot that cheap ammo.Being the same ppl who do make the ammo

Thanks Ridge i didnt relize they had changed there barrels . I remember reading about those xgi,s- now i wouldnt mind one of those- to bad they never made them- i would have liked to have one of those for sure.
But i cant complain for what i spent on my sks,s in how they shoot,with no work done on them.

Many many rounds threw im& abused& still kicking- for the price of a cheap 22. rifle.

I might even spring for one of those ar,s or a M 1 in the future got a few more dollars now:D

minis can be made to shoot well but ruger chooses not to make them this way. That is why I would never choose a ruger over a sks.

boy Knightia i don't know what to think about the sks. i was never to impressed with them. the few that i have seen were not up to the task. but the price was right. it's a differant story with those ar's or ak's. from what i have heard and read is that the ak is the most dependable auto-loader ever made. if i talk myself into one of these i think i would try an ak. it's all just a way to turn money into noise. but fun. :)
