New Mini 14 Target (range Report)
« on: September 14, 2007, 04:14:27 AM »
I just purchased the new mini 14 target.  Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet.

Does anyone else have one?

How is it for accuracy?

 I have had other minis before but they weren't shooters.  I have always loved the look and feel of a mini I just hope this one shoots, as good as it looks.   ;D

Well guys here you go

Very nice grouping.  That's a sweet rifle.  Looks like you found a mini that's a shooter.

Very nice looking group and a sharp looking rifle.  Is that a factory stock?

glad to hear you like it! i have been eyeing them since they came out on the market and the last couple of gun shows i have been to i have to look at one or two of them. i really think it will be my next shooter!
did you doing any adjusting to the harmonic dampener to get those groups or are you going to try that after you get a feel for it.
i think i'll go a little higher powered on the scope?
