Mini 30
well, I've had one for a few years now and am happy. The first thing I got rid of was the rear sight. Put in a Williams peeper with smaller dia peep insert and it has been my hunting rifle ever since. Second thing to go was the wood stock-replaced w/Hogue Overmold. Good cal out a ways, and has digested all I have fed it...russki and usa stuff. Even reloads...mine and store bought ones. Weight fits me fine. Use on quad or keep it in the truck toolbox. My boy accidentally ran over the thing with a big quad, it's been without any probs and no effect on accuracy or function. I keep major parts greased, as oil will spray all over the place during recoil, (getting it off glasses is an un-needed thing). Get one while you can, use the 5rnd mags--- get higher caps later.
