I had to sell my mini 14 about 5 years ago and I really want to buy another. Has anyone purchase one of the 580- versions that have been recently made. I want to buy the tactical mini 14 in the 16" barrell. I like these and they are very reliable. They cost about $650 from Budsgunshop.com but the accuracy at 100 yards appears to be 2-4 inches according to who you talk to. I was going to get an AR but decided I would rather have a the mini, a 10/22 and a Mark III instead of a $1200 tack driver. The Busmasters are nice but I dont think I am ready to spend that much on one rifle. Any opinions or input on this decision is welcome.
