As far as the article goes the Mini in orginal form beats Milspec moa. And certainly do minute of coyote at 200yds.
I would say the supposed engineer was disgruntled employee with an ax to grind and probably not into the tests as deep if at all. But hey it's on the net, it must be true!

Here is the link to my review the first time shooting our new Mini-14: New Mini 14 Tactical 100 rounds fired...
60 yards, free standing, PMC .223 ammo (I think 10 rounds, maybe 20), open sights, put all rounds in head of silhouette target. Not one miss.
It is plenty accurate with good fire power, IMO.

I could get consistent 4" groups at 100 yards. On the perfect union a lot of guys are adding brace rods to the barrels and getting better accuracy from the older mini's. IMO the newer minis are decent combat guns but if you are expecting varmint rifle accuracy you should look elsewhere. | The guys on perfect union are right. As far as varmit rifle accuracy goes I think my mini would be good I can regularly hit clay pidgeons at 300 yards with my open sight 185 series. That's about as far away I would shoot a varmit unless I had a scoped rifle.

that article is old pre heavy barrel.I have seen this also on the perfect union and it gets tossed around when accuracy is mentioned especially when comparing to AR's.
Mine has had upgrades,but will shoot sub moa at 50. I have not had the opportunity to shoot 100yrds yet.
i think it's in large because of the Troy chassis and how rigid it is.Just as well it is heavy compared to the original Ranch stock. Once my red dot (trs25) gets here i will see what i can get.
