Part of the problem with the Mini-14 is the rear sight. I bought one with an after-market plastic stock. The rear sight rattled and I got 4-5" groups off the bench at 100 yards.
I had it replaced with a precision micrometer sight (I forget the brand right now) and it now groups 2-3".
It's not a sniper rifle, but it is rugged and reliable.

I'm using a 20x varmint scope to eliminate my shooting deficiancies from the equation.
It's the problem of the drifting point of aim that remains the problem.
I have to go and I'll be back. I still have to figure out why the barrel is so unstable even after I locked it down with a simple design of my own. My barrel is supported at the gas block and the receiver unlike the factory rifles that are only supported at the receiver.
