Don, you are well armed with the Mini if it feeds properly with your magazines and if you put in some range time learning to shoot it, supported and offhand, and get acquainted with its accuracy. 200yds is probably pushing it as far as accuracy but it will still hit plenty hard at that distance.

Don't bet your life on these rifles until you have thoroughly checked out the whole weapon system consisting of your rifles, your mags, your ammo and your sights. It's no good finding out in an emergency situation that your scope rings are loose or that your cases are sticking in the chamber. You may also consider a sling for prone but you need to spend some range time learning to sling up quickly and comfortably.

Also, see how the rifles eject. I have been pelted so hard on the noggin by guys with new Minis firing Russian steel case ammo that I refuse to set up within six firing points on the right side of a Mini. A little gunsmith work on the ejector spring would fix this.

Have fun with them!

Thanks. I have had them apart for cleaning. I have noticed on one of them that if I don't have the fore-end screws set right, the bolt will lock up on me. Do you have any knowledge of this?
