All of this Mini14 talk made me want another one. I shouldn't have sold the last one I had. Went this morning and bought a standard blued/wooden Ranch Rifle. As i did with the last one, I painted the front ramp white. That makes a huge difference with the sight picture. Gonna go shoot some factory 64 grain power points and see if this one will shoot 1" groups with them like the last one I had. All 55 grain fmj and a couple other types of ammo I tried would usually be around 2". Those power points just shot great.
