I had one for a while, and it never worked for me. I wasn't looking for a target rifle and would have been happy with 6" groups at 100 yards, but this thing wouldn't even do that. It wouldn't even keep all its rounds on the paper at 50 yards. I could do better with slugs in a shotgun.
The mini-14 is the only rifle that I've had this experience with. I have a Remington 700 that shoots 1" groups at 100 yards with ease. I recently got to shoot a "California-legal" AR, and with iron sights could easily keep all my shots in the black at 100 yards, or hit steel silhouettes at 200 or 300 yards every time.
I, like so many before me, got rid of my mini after a short time. Based on what other people say, mine was probably just a lemon, but that was my experience.
