"In my opinion"If you can keep groups on a pie plate at 100 yds open sight,WITH ANY GUN ILL CALL IT ACCURATE!
My son has one. We have never shot paper with it. It is very much minute of beer can
at 50-60 yards. It is very good when you point and shoot.
Whether that meet a standard called "accurate", I don't know. But I can sure hit things with it!
I like the Mini-14, unfortunately, it has some issues. Watch that video and see if it is confidence inspiring.
The other 2 problems are A) It's too heavy and B) It doesn't use standard STANAG magazines.

I told my father my mini was sorta accurate when we did a little trade a few years back for one of his guns , both guns are still in the family , you would think he would be over the sorta accurate description I gave . I would say a pie plate at 100 yrds scoped you would hit it and he would say a wild house cat trying to get his chickens at 60 yrd will live another day .
The guns have to be doing something right,because there still around "In My Opinion" if the guns were not accurate enough i dont think companies would keep producing,and take a chance on losing profits!
After looking at the other YouTube videos it is apparent that all rifles have some degree of barrel flex when shooting.
How would one determine how much flex is good or bad. Guess that is why Browning put the big rubber ball on the barrel.
Newsflash: many people buy guns for fun and hardly shoot them. Consider how many guns on the market are nowhere near reliable enough to use for personal defense. Simple fact is a lot of people buying Minis don't know or care that it's not accurate, because they have no necessity for any baseline level of accuracy. The Minis do have a certain charm about them, and they are quick and handy ranch type rifles.
And the flip side of your argument...if the Minis are so awesome, why does no one anywhere use them for any serious purpose?
