Thanks. I like it so Fat Harry must hate it!



The Mini-30 has a mixed rep for accuracy and reliability. The fancy stock
on the one you bought adds nothing to accuracy or reliability. I wouldn’t
own one. I don’t hate inanimate objects; I’m not a simple-minded
right-winger like you.


Stocks can add to accuracy.


The "Mini" series of Ruger Rifles have some fine attributes, but high
accuracy ain't one of them, regardless of the stock. `


You are blowing smoke now. Your statement was stocks do not add to
accuracy.



In the case of these Ruger production rifles, the barrels are not
free-floated, the barrels are not bedded, and the gas system creates
some accuracy issues, too. Ergo, the Ruger stocks do not add to the
accuracy of the rifle. I'm not sure I can simplify this any more for
you. With the pieces and parts Ruger includes, the "Minis" are not 1"
shooters at 100 yards rifles. Period. I have seen a video in which a
fellow put on a completely different barrel on a old Mini-14 and
improved his accuracy. As I said, though, the Mini-14s are good rifles
if you are not a target shooter.
