The Beretta is a joy to shoot at the range and is more accurate in my opinion than the Glock.....this basically just translates that I can shoot it better than the glock. Your mileage may vary. There is no denying the classic styling and the smoothness of the Beretta action and trigger. It is...

It seems to me that Ruger is addressing the two main complaints witht the Mini 14 by making a rifle that is more accurate and by making high capacity mags more available. What is with all the negative comments? Isnt it a good thing when a company caters to the requests of their customer...

how does twist affect accuracy? What is its relationship with bullet weight?

I could very well be wrong, but I believe the barrel needs to be skinnier behind the gas block to leave enough room for the operating rod to function properly.

Chris, The older mini's barrels didnt taper at all. If your barrel is noticeably thicker at the gas block and tapers down towards the sights, then it appears you got one of the 2008 runs. Take it to the range and see what kind of groups you get. There will be a lot of people eager to see...

You mentioned wanting a scout configuration. Ultimak and Amega ranges both make scout rails that replace the handguard on the mini. The internet hype is that it reduces the group size by half because it stiffens up the barrel. I have one on my mini, but I've never shot the thing past 50 yards...

rant Dont worry about what other people say about your choice to purchase a Mini. The negative qualities about the Ruger Ranch Rifle are highly exaggerated just as the positive qualities of the AR family are highly exaggerated. We are seeing a shift in the average rifle shooter here in...

Ruger is just now starting to spread their wings after the unfortunate loss of Bill Ruger sr. and the company is under fresh management. Change is slow within any company. There is an awful lot of companies out there that I am seeing diversify their line for tactical and military styled...

Ive had good luck with the Pro Mags as well. At first, they were a tight fit, but after two light passes of a file on the locking tab, they fit perfectly. I wouldnt be surprised if Ruger starts selling the 20 rounders to the public soon...that is if there is no future bans. As far as price...

Either an adjustable gas block or gas port bushings will solve your problem www.accuracysystemsinc.com www.greatwestgunsmithing.com

I think this Remington looks like a fantastic hunting or defense rifle. They come in wood stocks to appeal to the sportsmen crowd and telescoping stocks to appeal to the tactical crowd. I handled both the Mini and the 7615 at the gun store. The 7615 just felt awkward to me. It wasnt...

I believe the norm with the new mini's is 1-2.5 MOA on a cold barrel with the heavier bullet weights yielding the best results. With a hot barrel after firing a few rounds you can probably expect 3-4 moa. There is a definate improvement over the older models. I have never shot one of...

2moa is a good thing. Its about what an etry level bolt action or AR style rifle will do. The thing is, I can shoot 2-3moa free hand day all day long with the mini or an AR. No better, no worst. The only time I've seen the AR shoot less than 2moa is in a vice or at least a sand bag on a...

I've also read that the way the older mini's sight was installed led to some inaccuracy. (being pressed on the barrel) That is why they changed up the front sight. These new rifles are actually great hunting carbines. I still doubt they compare to the tactical and combat advantages similar...

The new 580 series minis are definately more accurate. They also increased in price by around $50-$75. I believe they are still fairly priced for a reliable utility rifle. Overall, I think Ruger made some great improvements. I was looking for a backwoods semi-auto rifle for sporting...

To me, the mini 14 has always been a truck/ranch/utility rifle so I have always been content with the factory five rounders. As for the 20 rounders, there are plenty factory ones out there. Yes, they are expensive compared to AR and AK mags, but compared to other factory mags such as HK, they...

Ive shot a mini 14 with a bushnell trophy multi-recticle mounted on a scout rail. It was a very nice set up and was plenty accurate (for hunting) out to 100 yards. The red dot on that rifle had seen some serious shooting and abuse and had held up well.

its been around for quite some time in other markets outside the US. I dont know or think it will replace the Sig Pro in the US....Americans are still choosing the P-series classic line over the less expensive polymer line.

I agree with 9x19. The M&P is just the latest fantastic plastic. It's starting to create the same craze that the XD did. There's a ton of decently priced polymer combat pistols out there right now. They are all accurate and reliable. To claim that any of them are better than the other is...

Springfield Armory Mil-Spec. $550 The ONLY 1911 that I would be 100% confident in from the gun store shelf straight to my holster. This includes the higher end guns.
