I own 2 minis, love them for what they are. They will not ever be as accurate as an AR, IMO. I had one back in the 80's, as the old saying goes, couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.
The newer ones are much better. I took a chance on one like 6 years ago when it was near impossible to find anything chambered in 223/556. I was pleasantly surprised. It is not a bench rest quality rifle by any means and it would not be my first choice on a prairie dog shoot. A SHTF, grab and go rifle, oh hell yes. But that's because I don't own any ARs anymore(yet).
