I have a 580 series with a tapco T6 stock. After a strut, trigger, gas block work, and recoil buffers the mini is a better rifle than it was when I bought it.The mods were not very costly and it made a noticable diffrence. I dont have a problem with AR's. I think the mini is as accurate as a similar priced AR. My best group with handloads is 1.2''@100yrds. That was a 5 shot group. I dont think a 600 dollar AR could do much better.

I think the mini-14 is an underestimated rifle and I would put my 600dollar mini up against any AR in that price range. In accuracy, function, sustained fire, any way you want to slice it. The only AR thats better than my mini is the one that cost 1000-1500 bucks. Let me spend $600 more on my mini and it will stack up with the best AR's out there.
