[QUOTE="GBA1776, post: 1115034, member: 20522"] In my experience with mini 14's although limited to 3, a 186 series .223 a 189 series 7.62 (although I guess that is a mini 30 not 14, whatever) and a .223 Ranch Rifle, those guns are capable of good accuracy, they just have horrible consistency, you can shoot some very tight groups and then the same ammo and the same good trigger pulls you get a group 2-3 times the size, then it will shrink again. The mini 30 never grouped well but I only shot golden bear ammo out of it so I suspect it was the ammo more than anything I suspect you are falling victim to the already erratic behavior of the mini and a shifting mount or just a tired beat up scope with very weak erector assemble springs, or maybe the vibration from the truck is just too much for them if its a fairly new scope. I would pull the scope off and shoot groups with Irons and see if what sort of pattern you get with that Even though the Mini;s Ive shot have had very inconsistent groups they were all at my POA just bigger, if you are going from high to low in just a few hours its got to be the scope and the mount [/QUOTE]
