I have a friend trapped in California who dumped a lot of money into a Mini because that was all he could do at the time. I think the best it ever did was about 1.5-2 moa after a barrel change, new stock, and a barrel tuner. Even then it would hold it for about 20 rounds and start going all over the place.
I had the joy of zeroing about 75 patrol rifles for an unenlightened agency that thought you could just throw them in cars like a shotgun. Ever single one (collapsible stock carbines with chrome pencil barrels) had the zero confirmed by shooting less than a 2moa group at 100 yards with duty ammo.
I admit liking the looks and even the handling of the mini but they just dont perform as well as they should. It is the same reason that kept me from getting an M-14 scout, two much money for an outdated system.
Hunt hard, kill clean, waste nothing and offer no apologies.
