As I recall. when the mini-14 came out, Bill Ruger described it as a “plinker”. In that role it has done me a fine job for years. It was not intended to for MOA shots. Some of you guys are starting to sound like: I got rid of my 1022 because it wouldn’t knock down a elk with a single shot.
“... it wouldn’t knock down a elk with a single shot..” Well if you reload your .22’s properly they will. LOL!
True. It was supposed to be on par with an AK47 Amercan style. Fills that role well.
