[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3995435, member: 45773"] The only issues I ever had with a Mini-30 (or Mini-14 for that matter) is it wouldn't shoot the cheap, Russian ammo very well. 3 or 4 rounds from a 20 round mag wouldn't fire due to the hard primers, I guess. Only thing I can figure. It made a helluva dimple in the primer but wouldn't fire it. A second go around it usually would. I have one of the newer tactical models and it shoots pretty doggone well...2" to 2.5" give or take a bit off a bench at 100 yds with American Eagle ammo. Maybe not match grade but it's sure good enough. I think a lot of the accuracy issues with Minis have to do with the very crude front sight on the older models. They damn near completely cover a regular silhouette at 100 yds. The newer ones have sights that are much better. I have a RDS on the tactical and it works much better than the irons for me.
