The Ruger Mini 14, for all the accuracy issues it had at the beginning, is a rugged, ridiculously reliable, handy little rifle. If the old Mini 14 is that bad, why does he still have it?” The answer is that the rifle isn’t that bad and it wasn’t particularly difficult or expensive to solve the accuracy problem. Shooting at anything smaller than that could be a bit frustrating.Īt this point you might be saying to yourself, “This GunGuy is an idiot. Basically, if you were shooting at a basketball sized target with an older Mini 14, you could reliably hit it at 100 yards. An older Mini 14, like the Ranch Rifle I purchased around 1990, would often produce discouraging 100 yard groups of between 6 and 9 inches out of the box. Once Ruger retooled and reworked the design, a new Mini 14 could be expected to hold groups of roughly 2 inches or less at 100 yards out of the box (depending upon the ammunition used and the shooter’s ability to shoot). It’s true that the old Ruger Mini 14s tend to be less accurate than the newer ones in their stock configuration. However, the problem is not nearly as big as many Mini 14 detractors wish to make it. There have been a lot of articles written, comments posted and videos produced lamenting the inaccuracy and supposed inadequacy of the Ruger Mini 14.
