I am in the market for a .223 semiauto for plinking/small game hunting/fun/SHTF rifle.. I've heard the horror stories linked to the Mini-14's accuracy.. But how about the reliability? I figure as long as i can get within 2"-4" @100 yds I'm happy.. I just want a fun gun that's cheap to shoot. Has anyone had any failures to feed, extract, or fire with one of these? My 10/22 has flawlessly cycled through over 1000 rounds from Federal, Remington, and Winchester, without a single hiccup of any kind.. So that's pretty good performance from Ruger as far as I'm concerned.. Talk me out of this, if you can.. I don't want to regret this.
