I had a stainless Mini-14 back in the late 1970s that was about as accurate as a good AK platform carbine. In other words, it's good enough for typical combat ranges. I've had the newer model for a few years now, and it's quite a bit more accurate than the one I had from the late 1970s through the middle 1980s.


I shot one from the mid 80s’

Hit what I put my sights on.

I didn’t critique group sizes..... hit soda cans out to 200 yards......off hand

Great rifle imo.

I’m looking at the 30....
