giant groups from new Mini

[NugginFutz]

We talkin' Mini-14?
Yes I drooled over them when they first came out and eventually bought a new one in the mid '70s. I was stationed overseas (with great Navy Exchange prices) and bought a couple of Ruger M77Rs and Vs at the same time. The bolt guns were incredibly accurate and made the 2-3 MOA Mini more disappointing.
As some famous writer said, "there's nothing more useless than an inaccurate rifle" and I sold it.
Gave them a second chance when the Ranch model arrived in the mid-80s but that one was just as inaccurate as the first. Too bad.
Local gun shop always has used Minis at decent prices but I know that none are accurate enough for me.

Yeah - mini-14. I soooo wanted it to work out. Ron Peterson's always got a few.

If the OP meant something else, then forgive me for taking this thread down a nostalgic rabbit hole.
