I have both. The Mini IS overpriced. But it is better. Mini has Better sights Better magazine system Better trigger Better safety Better round Smaller profile

Shortening the barrel to 16" and adding an ultimak rail will give you a solid 2-3 MOA gun with no POI drift. End result - A gun that is stone cold reliable and accurate enough. (This post will be invisible to all Mini haters. They can't see it due to the blindness of their hate)

I would demand the gov't save me. The hurricane is the gov'ts fault and I am entitled to their help. If they don't come fast enough, the gov't is racist.

To the original poster that described himself as a "middle aged fat man", the best thing you could do is GET IN SHAPE. Fighting, disasters, lack of sleep, emotional trauma takes an incredible toll on your body. Your fighting skills will not be worth a dime after a few days if you have been...

No problem Spooky. I don't take it as a flame. Except, I have on occasion shot my Mini-14 several hundred rounds at a time with 0.0 problems. Most of the time I fire about 100-150 rounds. I have bump fired it plenty too. No problems. Everyone I have known has stated that this gun is...

Dave M. makes a good point. Lone fighters are easily pinned down and flanked. Then, they are killed. Invite all your friends. Have them bring guns.

What is it about extended firing that causes mini's to go down? The only difference between my firing of 150 rounds at a time for 5000 rounds over a long period and that of a shooting school scenario would be the heat build up. It would be interesting to know what specifically is...

Forget about the rifle in your hands AND the shotgun slung across your back at the same time. Your mobility will be horrible and you will be banging into things. Having both a shotgun and a rifle for one person does not make sense. It is not like you will have a caddy that can hand you...

What is the typical failure and what do you mean by hard use? Is it that the weapon can't take extended fire? Or, is it that it does not handle being bumped and banged around?

Rifle. A shotgun is good to 50 yards unless you have slugs. If you are going to use slugs, get a rifle instead. The bad guys could easily threaten you beyond 50 yards.

Hmmm. I take mine out every month. I shoot about 150 rounds in an hour or two. Never a malfunction. Nothing has ever broken. Ever. In the carbine classes I am aware of, you typically shoot about 500 rounds per day. I question the so called failure of the Mini as an urban myth. Could...

Oh, beautiful. Iraq is ONLY 10% of our total expenditures. You are forgeting that the gov't is borrowing this extra money. They surely are not reducing expenses in other areas. They are incapable of this type of self restraint. As a result we are borrowing about $2B a day that we don't have...

No big hurry. Right now, Osama's plan is right on schedule. GWB took the bait. We are busy bankrupting ourselves in Iraq. When the financial time is right, he will strike. Checkmate. (50 years of socialist/marxist spending yielding a $8T debt tends to make a country prone to financial...

Iraq is a black hole. Civilizing them is impossible. Even if it were possible, why do you want to pay for it? You go to work every day. The gov't steals half your income in taxes. They give it to the sandmonkeys in Iraq for free. Since the definition of a slave is one who can not keep...

For all you war-is-good all the time guys... They estimate that it will require $25B of wealth diverted from other expenditures to fix New Orleans. We waste $25B of our wealth on Iraq each month!!! Ask yourself - why do you love the * so much that you would give them (FREE) $25B of your...

Ya. Everyone knows what a failure the AK is in combat. Cut the barrel of the Mini down to 16". It will shoot 2-3 MOA. That is good enough. It will always go bang. Here is a bet - from standing or kneeling, you will shoot the Mini more accurately than the M1A Socom at 100 yards.

Thanks. I just ordered the Leica 1200.

Has anyone used the Nikon Monarch Rangefinder 800? It is smaller and looked better designed from an ergonomics standpoint. It has the continuous ranging feature too. Less expensive. I am trying to see if there is any reason for spending the extra money on the Leica for hunting purposes.

Before you shoot, sprint 100 yards to get your gun. Next time, do 30 push ups first, then shoot. More realistic.

I have transitioned from Karate to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. They have a concept they call "mat time". Simply put, it means you need to spend lots and lots of time on the mat to have the moves become second nature. I think the same thing applies to shotgunning or shooting in general. I try to...
