Only accurate rifles are interesting. Every Mini-14 I’ve seen and tried was a great and fun way to spray a lot of bullets in the general direction of the target, but couldn’t begin to touch a well-made AR for accuracy.
Emphasis on “well made.” Not, “AR slapped together in a garage from surplus parts by Joe Bob Amateur Gunsmith.”
Mind you, I own or have owned many other Ruger rifles and handguns that were wonderfully accurate. Maybe that’s why I found the Mini-14 so disappointing.
Agree. We had one and it was not accurate. We finally gave it away. For $900 you can get a Wyndham AR15 that is a really fine weapon.
