Can anyone recommend a good scope for the Ruger Mini 14? I know the Mini 14 is basically a 100-150 yards rifle. But is 200 yards or a little more possible with a good scope?
I don't have a Mini, but I may buy one seeing as how hard it is to get an AR 15 nowadays.I don't know you tell us? How accurate is your mini? Is it worth putting a scope on it? I have a friend who has a new mini and it groups at about a 1 and a half or two inches at 100. Pretty damn impressive for a mini.
300 yards? WOW! Their accuracy has greatly improved. How easy are they to field strip?Accuracy with the new mini's (580-series and up) is said to be considerably improved over the older Ranch Rifles, yes. Any new mini-14 should easily stay on a paper plate at 300 yards, from a rest with good ammunition. And .223 is a very flat shooting cartridge, which makes 300-yard shooting much easier.
Very easy. You pull the back of the trigger guard hard (it doubles as the dissassembly lever) and it pops loose, unlocking the trigger group from the receiver. The trigger group pulls out as a unit, then you can lift the rest of the action out of the top of the stock. Grab the aft end of the recoil spring/guide rod and pull it from the receiver, then the op rod comes off. You then slide a little cover up on the left side of the receiver and take out the bolt hold-open, and then you can wriggle the bolt out of the receiver.300 yards? WOW!
