Mini-14 580 series owners?

[doubleman]

I have a few questions for anybody with a newer 580 series Mini-14. What kind of accuracy are you getting at 100 yards? What bullet weights are you using? How reliable do they function?
I am considering buying a new mini and I only have expierence with the older rifles so any info would be helpfull.
Thanks

I have a new 581. It is accurate in a vise but it has a very stiff trigger and this affects its accuracy when holding/shooting. I can get no better than 3" groups at 100 yrds via bench rest because I tend to "pull" a bit hard on the trigger. Very, very reliable. I usually use typical 55gr ammo.

Going off what I've read here and other places (I don't currently own a Mini but am interested like yourself) the new ones seem to be pretty consistent at around 2-3". If you hand load they seem to do a little better at 1.5-2". The target versions are able to do 1" or better after "tuning" them.

Take these numbers with a grain of salt but they are what I've come across.

ETA

they are (and always have been) very reliable.
