    Why get a mini 14 when you can get an SKS for about 1/4 the price? They'll both shoot practically similar (doesn't matter off a bench, because that's never how you use it) and it'll only set you back $299 if GC are having one of their sales (which happens fairly regularly).

    You wont get a mini 14 for $1,000 (at least not a new one, which are supposed to be much improved accuracy wise). I think the ranch rifles (basic ones) are about $1,400, and that's without any scope or anything.

    On the last goat hunting trip I was on it was't the fact my rifle is a bolt that was the problem, it was magazine size
    Savage1 and Dougie like this.
