I have a LE-issue SS mini with the SS factory folding. It is great to shoot and gets lots of attention too.
i actually like mini 14's i think they are cool and shoot well but my dad had a ruger ranch rifle and it would heat up after alot of shooting and it would get inaccurate best to get the tactical one because of the synthetic stock warps less after heating up
I witnessed my father take down many deer with his mini 14 at great distance. Accuracy is great with this rifle.
Now that someone has asked, I will post an accurizing thread in the Mini-14 sub forum in the few days. Look for it there............. Jim......................
