Beer can MOA at 75-100 yards, offhand is plenty good.
I like that

AZ Jeff said:Totally FALSE. The main problem with Mini-14 reliability (when a reliability problem is present) is due to poorly made AFTERMARKET magazines. Use good aftermarket mags, or better yet, Ruger factory magazines of any size, and reliability will rival a "commie gun". I repeat: in general, a Mini-14 is a VERY RELIABLE rifle.

My 188-series stainless Ranch Rifle won't stay on a beer can from a benchrest and sandbags at that distance. The best 100-yard group that rifle has ever fired is 5.5" at 100 yards, from a benchrest and rear bag. I've tried premium match ammunition, optics, etc.Beer can MOA at 75-100 yards, offhand is plenty good.
At least, not with a 20 round magazine.and you don't need a sub-MOA rifle to shoot coyotes with iron sights, either.
Reading "Mini-14" in any forum pushes a button
AR fanatics will never keep away from any discussion of the Mini-14. It's against their religion. They will never allow someone to choose a Mini without their "superior" opinion of the AR being voiced. Reading "Mini-14" in any forum pushes a button in their minds that activates the "pro AR" program.
Any Mini 14 or Ranch Rifle owners ( past or present ) I sure would like to hear your feed back. Thanks for your time and help!
The Mini-14 is a Stainless Ranch Rifle and is as reliable as a Timex, Period
