Sorry, but an old-style Mini 14 or even a new-style Mini 14 with the
heavier barrel is NOT a 1 MOA rifle, even in a full bench rest shooting
top-drawer hand loads.

Nobody said it was. But there’s people out there that can tight group at that distance with a .22 LR. Just because you can’t doesnt mean others can’t either.

But that’s ok. I’m sure you’re a sharpshooter at hitting 2 litre sodie bottles and stumps at 20 ft.


*You* claimed you could shoot 1" groups with your Mini-14. A .22LR was
not under discussion at that point.

I don't remember him saying he never tuned up his rifle.
You could improve your groups with one of those You Tube bedding jobs.
I am still surprised that any .223 would not shoot inside 1 MOA with
decent ammo from a rest and good optics. That round was originally
designed for shooting at ground hogs from very far away (as the Rem
..222). It is not unusual for guys to blow up a small rodent from
400-500 yards out. (granted with a BA rifle most of the time).
