lee n. field, AFAIK 4 MOA is the standard for military rifles. Most beat it, but 4 MOA is considered good enough for a Marine to carry into battle.
The Mini-14 is certainly "adequate" for a patrol rifle, WRT accuracy. "Sniper" is a SWAT role. As a target shooter, you might not like a gun that's not MOA accurate, but that's got nothing to do with "technically adequate."
