A friend many years ago had a Shilen put on his. In the end IIRC he dropped about 1000 bucks into the gun, and with handloads it would shoot under MOA. Fairly reliably too.
This was late 80s.
I just don't see these days paying for a mini and dumping another grand into it, to make it what almost any AR is capable of with the right handloads.
Then there is the adaptability portion of the AR platform too.
Even the M1As we bought that were rack grade, would shoot sub moa with the right ammo.
Granted tuning them cost a 500 buck stock, and I forget... probably 2-300 upgrades plus a new Shilen barrel, and 150 bucks of bedding to get htem really solid reliable repeatable guns.
But I've yet to have seen a stock mini that would shoot MOA or just under as is. They are probably as rare as an AR that shoots over MOA wiht the right ammo also.
