Not on the edge… they are dead-ass-center!
Why? Because you rock.
Looks like a nice hunting rifle to me with the right ammo and shot placement.
It depends on your ammo . You have to tune it to your ammo. “your AMMO”
i just bought one of these last week and put a 4-12-40 nikon on it, i was wondering if the 2 1/2 in turns is were u still use it at and is it the best setting, im going to be going this weekend to shoot it at the range and i would like to know for when im tunning my damperer.
thanks Chad
Thank you very much Bro!
As with ALL BULL BARREL rifles it can be difficult ! Depending on your size I would recommend the standard Mini-14 for standing if I had to shoot more than a few round accurately. This is more the sniper version.
Hullo Comrade,
please, I would like your opinion regarding the possibility to use this rifle in standing up position.
Regards from Italy.
ha so i am not the only rock shooter!! and yea 100 or 200 yards isnt far till your at the range, good shooting!
leave me a private message with your phone number
Hi Paul
Nice shooting! I just bought this rifle.I traded in my old Mini 14.It had the cheap skinny barrel,not to accurate.I was just wondering what ammunition and scope you used in the video?
I guess you need an optic on this rifle, since it has no iron sights?
Many thanks, Sir.
All true, but it has an OK trigger, but not wonderful. Even an amature can figure out how to polish this action to make it still safe but a lot smoother.
Very nice rifle, but, please, what do you think regarding this opinion ?
-A vital link in a rifle’s performance chain is a trigger pull that is crisp & reasonably light; the Mini-Target’s pull is neither.The reason this important element of good shooting was ignored by Ruger may be in-house paranoia, but it needn’t spell doom because a savvy gunsmith who has mastered smoothing out a Garand’s fire-control system can do the same for the Mini-14-
Regards
Great vid and good shooting sir. I have a ranch rifle witch before I upgraded it, I culd get a 3/4in group at 100yds. I have added a 1-3 wever scope and new stock and accu strut and now can get two holes touching and the third about 1/8 to 1/4in away. I use it for 3 gun and coyote hunting, I am going to build a mini 14 target rifle next for long range varments. mini 14 ranch and traget rifles are the greatested underrated rifles around
“That’s because I rock”
Great shooting, that wind sure was working against you..
Thanks ,,,, I think LOL
Love it! Gray hair Brother Shooter Rock’n OUT!
Man has never gone over 18 years old???
Thanks for the video and great shooting and tuning!
You rock dude!
It tunes out the harmonic of the barrel for a given ammunition. Usually you have to select factory ammunition or hand-load it to what the rifle likes. In this case you pick the ammo and tune the rifle to the ammo. Very sweet if you do not hand-load. Tune it and just always shoot the same ammo. It also does not add to the barrel length. This rifle does not have provisions for a muzzle break or flash suppressor.
What is the purpose of the harmonic dampener? I’ve read a few articles that claim that it gives increased MOA capability, but how does it make the weapon more accurate if not just for the added barrel length?
Also, is it possible to combine this with a muzzle brake/flash suppressor?
I will, but not for a spell. I’ll get in touch with you when the time is right. Great job with the sighting the rifle, the vid, and the shots! Thanks for posting this and keep up the great work!
If you got the money and ammo I got the time
Very Nice. Looking forward to picking one of these up in the near future. Care to dial it in for me?
