Re: Educate Badger: straight pull Black Rifles
I am thinking of acquiring an M14 .223. Anyone got any views on that one?

Who in their right mind would want one in .223??? M14 is 7.62 or not at all!
Happy M14 owner.

Isn't a Ruger Mini 14 basically a scaled down M14?Nelly2014 wrote:I am thinking of acquiring an M14 .223. Anyone got any views on that one?

On the Mini 14 s I've come across , I've only seen one that performed really well past 300 yards. Others have been mediocre.

No one remember my "Mini 14 challenge" on here?
Got one, with not too much effort to group to a genuine 1.5" consistently at 100 and knock down targets on an ETR out to 600. And reckon I hit a couple of armoured vehicles with RG tracer at a little over 800...
Oh, I miss that rifle now....

In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?
