Ruger Mini 14?

But on the other side of the coin, the AR will get the job done with
the first round and not impart any fouling while the older mini's
needed several magazines......Yeah it's a stretch, but ya' know. Man
I love my RRA-EOP with the Krieger barrel. 3/4" on a bad day !!

The AR 15 is a better target gun. The MINI will eat any ammo you feed it go a thousand rounds without a single cleaning and still keep going.

I had one of the originals. They were area fire weapons. I re crowned the
barrel and went to IMR-4895 and short 50 grain bullets. It shot 2" at 100.
Mechanics on the originals were pretty loose, and the chambers themselves
were just cut for reliable feeding and extraction with sloppy necks. Real thick
neck brass helped, which usually was Lake City at the time.

Yup,. in my old Mini 14,.. 50, 55 and the SHORT, 60 grain, Nosler "Solid Base" Bullets were, the Only one's that,.. shot "Decent" ! ( If, you call, 1.5 to 2 1/2" group's,.. decent )
I Now Have, a Adams Arms, AA-15 "Piston Rifle" that, shoots, 1 MOA easily ( 50 gr. up to 69 grain, bullets ) w/ a Geislle, 2 stage, Trigger,. a Sweet Rifle

The 1:12 twist rate of the Mini 14 limits them in the bullet choice dept.

Yeah, that very much limits selection. The current ones are 1/9 but in combination with the short barrel, selection is also very limited.
