And I have to rise in defense of the Mini-14. I never tried to target-sight one, but in my (admittedly) anecdotal experience hunting small game with one, I've never found accuracy to be a problem.

Of course, that was back in the days before I had to use a white cane. And before that unfortunate boating accident in which all my precious firearms and reloading gear were lost ...

I have experience with only 2 Mini 14 rifles, one was a cylinder bore while the other was quite accurate, about 1 MOA with commercial .223 ammo. If they used AR/M16 magazines, I might get another.
