Just bought a Mini-14

I am impressed with the accuracy of this little hunting rifle. With iron sights it grouped very well with reloads as well as brand name soft point hunting rounds at fifty yards. Just got a scope so I'll see how much better I can do at fifty and then one hundred.

Actually I like the 5rd factory mags. Sure allot better quality than ar 15 mags in my opinion.
I had one. Loved it. It shot well. Never should have sold it. ENJOY!
I even had an ancient relic of an old mini14 that shot halfways decent despite the odd jam. THen I replace the worn out main spring and Boom! No more stoppages!
There is a reason why these guns have been inproduction for so long.

Five rounds at fifty yards with the Mini-14's excellent iron sights. Top picture is Remington 55gr soft points and the second is Federal 55gr soft points (the last two shots were when I changed position and obviously didn't use the same point of aim.
The new 580 Mini's are great little rifles for hunting small game and varmint shooting. And the small five round magazines are well made and handy. I like this rifle.

Fixed it or rather I discovered how to do it.
This group was shot with the Federals in 55gr sp. Overall best rounds of the bunch although many of the other brands and even the reloads worked almost as well. I didn't keep all my targets.
