- I'm not sure what the smiley means here--perhaps it means that you're
- exagerrating a bit? I can't imagine having any trouble keeping shots in a
- 1" circle at 25 yards using my Mini 14. (It's a Ranch Rifle, and I'm
- talking about shooting from a nice steady sandbag rest, and using a scope.)
- Maybe you've only shot really bad ones?

- As I've said elsewhere, the Mini 14 does not come close to the accuracy I'd
- expect from a _real_ rifle, but it ain't _that_ bad! Could it be that an
- image of Bill Ruger comes into your mind every time you squeeze the
- trigger? That would throw your aim off... 8^)

- # The least accurate M16/AR15 is still more accurate than the most accurate

- Well, I'll go so far as to agree that the AR15 is significantly more
- accurate than the Mini-14--but it ain't a bench rest rifle either. If I
- ever get a decent sight for my Swedish Mauser... 8^)
