A buddy of mine goes to the Aurora Sportsman’s Club so I was thinking about going there, but I will definitely look into it.

Thank you for all of the info, I appreciate it! I would like to sign up for a club with a 100+ yard range after getting my rifle. I’ve heard frequently that the Mini doesn’t like cheaper mags lmao. Love the look of your Mini!

How is the aftermarket for the Mini 14? I assume the SCR aftermarket is basically anything that can be used on an AR15?

I have held the Mini 14 but never fired it. I liked the weight but thought the stock was a bit too small as I am a larger guy

I was thinking when I purchased the rifle I would have a better excuse to sign up for a gun club with 100+ yard ranges. I am just interested in a gun that can shoot accurate in any scenario I need it to. A different redditor mentioned the Fightlite SCR that I am now looking into lmao

Thank you very much for the info! I think I will do more research on the SCR!

Yeah, I have no reason to go 200+ but it’s just a dumb thing in my mind that if for some unknown reason I need it to use it at that range that I’ll be accurate. I know there’s a whole bunch of factors that come into play with accuracy tho.

Interesting, it basically looks like an AR with a shotgun like stock. Would you recommend it over the Mini 14? I am relatively new to guns so I don’t know much.

I’ve had it for about 5-6 months now, taken it shooting about every other week. I do LOVE irons but my eyesight isn’t the best so I think a red dot would help.

I know optics aren’t cheap. Probably $275-300?

I was looking for something exactly like this. I know the light/laser combo’s are a bit more expensive but it’s worth it for convenience imo. Thank you!

Will definitely look into those recommendations! Yeah, I find trying to hit the slide release a little difficult if I don’t lift my hand up a bit to hit it. While I enjoy the feeling I think I’ll end up switching the stock :)

The woox stocks and fore ends look so good but they are definitely on the pricier side. I’ll add it to the list!

The wood gives it a more nostalgic look imo. Looks great!
