Nice Ruger![]()
old school setup
I do love those old Mini14’s unfortunately it is not sub moa like that RRA R3 Comp or the DD’s… built like a tank though and a lot lighter than a M14.Nice Ruger
The are robust. I would not mind having a couple. For the distance I would use them at, sub moa isn’t a requirement for me.I do love those old Mini14’s unfortunately it is not sub moa like that RRA R3 Comp or the DD’s… built like a tank though and a lot lighter than a M14.
The new ones are pretty accurate, but I never had much complaint about that one (I just knew not to fire it too far and expect good looking patterns) and the AK74 brake helped... probably a mix of barrel whip and the peep sights... I had that EOtech made Bushnell Holosite gen1 on the Mini at one time too... with a Aimtech Scout Rail... that helped too. Aimtech was just too heavy though with a steel clamping frame. Old Mini's are a nice lighter rifle with the irons. Not as light as a Keltec SU16 but a lot tougher.The are robust. I would not mind having a couple.

The old ones with iron sights has a classic look too.

I never had a problem hitting a paper plate in the center at 100... that covers a lot of government work. Take a R3 or DD (and my LaRue's too) with 75 grain cartridges and you can hit thumbtacks. If you four AR's that are literally tack drivers with easy to get ammo, and a Loaded M1A... A Mini could get neglected. I will always love it - my first "real" centerfire caliber long gun after I had my 10/22 forever.The old ones with iron sights has a classic look too. Knowing the weapon is critical.
