Good luck hitting the broad side of a barn with one of those Mini-14’s. Sawed off even worse.
Now, now. Mini 14s are fine rifles and get a bad rap for accuracy from a lot of Internet warrriors (not saying you’re one). It wasn’t designed to be a bench rest tack driver but a dependable, general purpose rifle firing our present small arms military cartridge.
The one that I had, tragically lost in a canoeing accident of course, shot on par with my AK, also sadly lost in the same incident.
2 in groups at 100 yds with iron sights. Got it for a song, sung out of tune, from a “marksman” that literally couldn’t hit the broad side of the barn from inside. He couldn’t shoot an 18 in group with it.
Best description I’ve heard of the Mini is “The American AK 47.
